Public Health Intern

The Public Health/Programs intern will assist with the planning and implementation of programs and events that support lung cancer research and education. This includes outreach in the community by connecting patients, survivors and loved ones with the medical and research community as well as education tools and access programs across North Carolina. Interns work closely with the Director of Programs in coordination with local lung cancer survivors and advocates, corporations and health systems in seasonal health fairs and educational seminars. Some intern tasks include:

• Identifying and attending local health fairs to distribute free educational materials, educate community members on lung cancer screening, debunk myths surrounding lung cancer, and increase overall awareness of lung cancer.
• Managing the Access to Care Gas Card program database including review applications, inputting data and distribution of gas cards.
• Assisting with community outreach to lung cancer survivors and cancer centers across North Carolina, ensuring every person touched by lung cancer in North Carolina is aware of our resources.
• Assisting in the planning and implementation of educational events such as the Annual Meeting, Community Education Webinar Series, Advocacy Summit, and Survivors Day celebration.
• Researching and identifying new grant opportunities and funding sources to support and sustain LCI’s programs.
