Internships

Intern with UNC Center for Maternal and Infant Health

CMIH has a rich history of partnering with UNC School of Social Work and UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health for graduate student interns. We consider students to be an important part of our team and vital to our ability to achieve our mission. Students who work with CMIH are exposed to the many different facets of our work, and finish their internship with a portfolio of products and a broader network of connections.

CMIH continues to seek opportunities to partner with other disciplines and schools. If you think you or your program might be a good fit for this internship, please download our Internship Application with instructions on how to submit an application, cover letter, resume, and writing sample.
