Tuberculosis Outreach Intern

Internship/Fellowship Program Dallas County Health and Human Services offers internship opportunities for graduate, undergraduate and high-school students of all skill levels interested in learning more about public health operations and careers. The students will observe how theoretical concepts are applied on a day-to-day basis and will put the skills they learn in the classroom to work. Many of our interns have little or no experience working in the public health field.

We place interns from many academic disciplines. Although most of our interns study Public Health, Health Sciences, and other related majors, internships are often available for students with other concentrations. Eligibility for all interns: Must be at least 15 years of age *(unless stated otherwise)* or have completed his/her freshman year of high school; Must successfully complete a background check; Must sign all applicable documents related to their internship at Dallas County; and Must comply with the Dallas County Employee Code of Conduct and all program-specific policies for the duration of the internship. *Disclosure: Currently we must have a contractual agreement with the school before we can accept any interns.* How long are internships?

Full-time and part-time internships are available throughout the year. Specific dates and times are arranged directly with an intern’s on-site supervisor. How can I apply and get more information on available internships?
