AASTEC Internship Program
We are no longer accepting applications for the Spring 2023 semester.
We will begin accepting applications for the Summer 2023 semester towards the end of March 2023.
The Albuquerque Area Southwest Tribal Epidemiology Center (AASTEC) is committed to working with American Indian/Alaska Native undergraduate and graduate students to provide them with exposure to applied public health practice within a tribal-serving organization. An internship with AASTEC is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience and skills in the areas of data collection and management, survey design, program evaluation, community-based health research, developing health education/communication materials and much more!
Interns will work directly with AASTEC program staff including our epidemiologists and evaluation specialists.
This is an 8-12 week paid internship for up to 30 hours per week in the summer and approximately 20 hours per week during the school year.
NOTE: If you interested in using this internship placement to fulfill a practicum, capstone, or course credit requirement, please contact
Carolyn Parshall (cparshall@aaihb.org) before proceeding with the application.
