Resources to Support the Internship Search Process

Community Health department resources

Community Health juniors and seniors complete a one-semester internship in the Boston area.  At the Department of Community Health office, we have a number of resources to assist with your search for an internship placement for CH 140, the course connected to the required internship in CH.  Department resources include:

  • Internship Database: CH students may review the database internship sites which previously hosted CH students.  The database, located in the CH main office (and not available remotely), contains information on past CH internships sorted by a variety of categories and locations. You can print out an information sheet on each site that interests you. The listings are useful as a first step in your research of possible sites. Make several choices which best match your professional and personal interests and goals.
  • Internship Binder: Next to the database, there is a binder of current and past position postings.  These positions include work in settings such as clinical research, consulting, communications, policy/government, and community organizations.
  • Read your emails: The CH Department sends out weekly updates which include recent position descriptions.
  • Contact Pamela: If you need more guidance, you may meet with Pamela Schoenberg Reider, Internship Administrator (pschoenberg.reider@tufts.edu).
