Occupational Health Internship Program
The Occupational Health Internship Program (OHIP) is summer internship program to help medical, nursing, public health, and other students learn more about the field of occupational safety and health from those with the most at stake: working people.
We are committed to recruiting, training, mentoring, and inspiring a new generation of occupational safety and health professionals to prevent job injury and disease through a partnership with workers.
OHIP is a national program housed within the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC), with training centers in San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, Los Angeles and New York City. Since its founding in 1987, the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC) has grown to a network of more than 60 clinics and more than 250 individuals committed to improving the practice of occupational and environmental medicine through information sharing and collaborative research.
Internship Program
Join us in a new summer internship program designed to link the skills and interests of students with the needs of workers to eliminate workplace hazards. Teams of students will explore specific concerns raised by workers in a specific industry or job. As part of the process of researching hazards, students will interview workers and observe them under actual working conditions. Through this process, students will gain an understanding of the world of work from the workers' perspective. Students will develop a final report, as a way to give something back to the workers about what they learned, so that this information can be used to improve the work environment. Students are supervised by project hosts and academic mentors.
Graduate students, medical and nursing students, and undergraduates who have completed two years of school may apply. During summer 2010, students will either work in Oakland, San Diego, or Los Angeles California or New York City. Applications are due April 1, 2010.
Our Advisory Board represents academic disciplines and constituency groups from across the nation. The program is partially funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, with additional support from the California Department of Health Services.
To request an application form for summer 2010, send an email to Ingrid Denis at: idenis@aoec.org or call AOEC at their toll-free telephone number: 1-888-347-2632.
