ASPH has a summer internship program open to students or recent graduates of ASPH-member schools of public health. The internship will provide a unique experience where students or graduates can apply their skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to real public health situations. The ASPH Summer Internship is a mutually beneficial opportunity for ASPH and the student.
ASPH represents the 40 Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH)-accredited schools of public health (SPH) in North America. ASPH promotes the efforts of schools of public health to improve the health of every person through education, research and policy. Based upon the belief that "you're only as healthy as the world you live in," ASPH works with the government and other professional organizations to develop solutions to the most pressing health concerns and provides access to the ongoing initiatives of the schools of public health (see www.asph.org).
