The Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI) has exciting paid summer internship opportunities for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Indigenous people looking to explore public heath careers. UIHI, a Division of Seattle Indian Health Board, has a mission to decolonize data by Indigenous people, for Indigenous people. We believe data, evaluation, and research are Indigenous values that contribute to the health and well-being of tribal people living in urban areas nationwide. The Public Health Intern will explore a range of public health topics, participate in Indigenous methodologies trainings, and gain knowledge that is aligned with the UIHI approach of using western science to complement Indigenous knowledge systems. The Public Health Intern will work under the close mentorship of a UIHI staff member. Intern projects will be based off current UIHI needs related to Indigenous Evaluation, Research and Surveillance and Direct Public Health Service. Examples of health topics we focus on include chronic disease prevention, infectious disease, substance misuse, and maternal child health.
