Preparing for a career in public health reaches beyond the coursework. Experiencing public health through internships and engaging in the community provide perspective and insight into future career opportunities.
Community Engagement
Contributing to local public health agencies and organizations can help one feel a sense of purpose and meaning as well as build valuable experience.
Here are some organizations to investigate for student community engagement opportunities:
The Vermont Public Health Association
The United Way of Northwest Vermont
Vermont Emergency Preparedness
Internships and Organized Programs for MPH Students
Graduate Student Epidemiology Program (GSEP)
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
CDC Opportunities for Masters Students
