Internship

The summer internship is a seminal experience for students in the MPH program, exposing them to real-world challenges and the opportunity to apply what they have learned in class. Students are able to find local, national and international placements with the help of both the Office of Public Health Practice and Office of Career Services. In addition to the internship and for Advanced Professional MPH students who do not complete the internship, there are a variety of practicum courses to provide additional real-life experience in the field of public health. However, all Coverdell Fellows must do an internship with an underserved American community.

Other opportunities

In addition to an on-campus hourly wage of at least $12.50 an hour, student employment offers flexible part-time positions designed to allow students to balance their studies and their job. YSPH tuition remission is a not a benefit of part time (or full time) employment at Yale, but you may gain valuable work experience and professional references. Most students work 10-12 hours a week during the school year.

Jobs for alumni

At Yale, we strive to ensure the highest possible return on the investment our students make in us. In doing so, we work tirelessly to foster lifelong relationships and networks within our student and alumni bodies, provide incredible internship and research opportunities to gain professional experience and maximize career opportunities as well as earning potential.

The value of a public health degree means different things to different people. At Yale, we hope to support and foster any area that will help our students succeed. And in turn, help those around the world who will ultimately benefit from that success.
