Epi Scholars Program

The NYC Epi Scholars program is a full-time, paid 10-12 week summer internship program for top graduate epidemiology students at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Scholars receive supplemental training from senior researchers including training in theory, methods, and public health practice to enhance their understanding of the root causes of disease. All scholars have the opportunity to present their findings to senior epidemiologists, key stakeholders and their peers. For many of the scholars this research internship is used to fulfill thesis requirements and often serves as an opportunity to develop a publishable paper or report.

An allowance to defray expenses for a full-time 10-12 week summer internship.

Mentoring by some of the nation’s leading epidemiologists and researchers.

Enhanced academic opportunities and seminars in methods, theory, and public health practice.
