The HSHPS/CDC Student Internship Program is a part of a cooperative agreement between Hispanic-Serving Health Professions Schools (HSHPS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program began in 2002 and is designed “…to foster the development of public health and research skills of Hispanic medical and public health students in order to increase the number of students who pursue careers in epidemiology, preventive medicine, and public health research.” The internship is an intensive 8-week experience with CDC staff at the central offices of the CDC in Atlanta, GA. The program provides students with research/clinical experiences that will enhance their knowledge of current techniques in surveillance and interventions directed at improving the health of Hispanic populations. Selected students will be featured in a HSHPS Press Release distributed to over 200 national and local newspapers.
