Ultimately, it is the student’s responsibility to secure an internship. Students should start looking for internships at least 2-3 months prior to the semester in which they intend to complete their internship. Internship opportunities are posted in the Get a Handle Student Newsletter and Handshake, UAB Career Center’s job/internship search platform. Students are also encouraged to view a sampling of Past Internship Sites to see where other students have interned in the past. Students can also identify their own internship opportunity as long as it satisfies the MPH Internship Requirements.  Students should not wait until the last 2-3 weeks before the semester begins to start thinking about where to complete the internship.
