MCDI, based in Washington D.C., was created with the belief that MCD's successful approach to health systems development in rural areas of the United States could be adapted to meet the needs of developing countries. MCDI has provided technical assistance in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America, and the Middle East. Interns must have computer skills and foreign language skills, preferably Portuguese or Spanish.
Interns perform administrative duties that assist the staff in implementing their respective duties.
The intern may work on either financial or technical aspects of proposal development, information gathering, and run errands as necessary. The staff of MCDI is relatively small, so there is opportunity for professional growth and development for a self motivated individual.
