Chemotherapy is a mainstay of cancer treatment, yet despite many studies, the benefits and risks of chemotherapy have not been thoroughly evaluated. More alarmingly, growing evidence suggests that only a fraction of patients actually benefit from chemotherapy while others may be harmed unnecessarily.

Dr. Christian Apfel, MD, PhD, is an adjunct professor at UCSF and has over a decade of experience designing and conducting research studies that have changed clinical practice. He is now assembling a team to undertake an even more ambitious goal: Saving one million life-years of unnecessary suffering from cancer within the next two decades. We are looking for motivated, creative, skilled, and dedicated interns with an interest in cancer research to assist in building our new non-profit organization, which is based in Larkspur, CA. Current priorities include a) developing a website and logo; b) designing clinical study protocols; c) recruiting medical centers to enroll patients; and, d) writing grant applications to obtain funding from other foundations and philanthropists.

The UCSF - Alliance Health Project began its Internship Program in 1991 with short-term internships for college students. Today, as a one-year program, it has become an integral part of the agency?s structure and is designed to target college graduates who have an interest in the health professions, social services, or non-profit management. This one-year program helps AHP not only to better manage the volume of high quality services we offer, but also to groom future mental health and social service providers with expertise in HIV care. The program also provides an opportunity to introduce college graduates to the non-profit arena, which may aid them in choosing careers in public health and related health care fields. Past interns have gone on to enjoy successful careers in medicine, psychology, public health, social work, and public interest law. Though advances in treatment of HIV disease have given new hope that this life-threatening illness will one day become a chronic, manageable condition, experts are united in their belief that this day has not yet arrived. People infected with HIV are living longer on average, but in turn, this means that greater numbers of people are seeking limited services. For now, it is only prudent to plan for the long term, and the Alliance Health Project?s Internship Program is an effort to do just that: ensure that there will continue to be a group of committed health and social service providers with HIV expertise. Our internship program provides young people the opportunity to give back to the community while learning valuable skills and fostering professional growth. In addition to their primary work assignment, interns are encouraged to learn about their chosen field, seek contact with professionals in their areas of interest, and learn about the non-profit world.
