Overview

The Epi in Action! internship is required for all Epidemiology students from University of Pittsburgh.

The internship provides an outstanding opportunity for students to utilize knowledge and practice new skills learned in the masters' courses, to work outside of the classroom, to practice a broader range of epidemiologic activities, to contribute to students' professional education through assignments useful to the host organization, and to help students identify their professional strengths, weaknesses, and areas of knowledge for further study. Students are encouraged to think creatively about the type of placements that will most benefit them.
