Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board/Albuquerque Area Southwest Tribal Epidemiology Center Internship Program

The Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board (AAIHB)/Albuquerque Area Southwest Tribal Epidemiology Center (AASTEC) is committed to working with American Indian/Alaska Native undergraduate, graduate students, and recent graduates to provide them with exposure to applied public health practice within a tribal-serving organization. An internship with AAIHB/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 AAIHB/AASTEC program staff including our epidemiologists and evaluation specialists. 

All internship placements are paid.  Student interns may work up to 30 hours per week in the summer and approximately 20 hours per week during the school year.  Professional interns (recent graduates) are expected to commit to a 6-month placement within our organization and may work a maximum of 34 hours/week.  In-person and remote internships are available dependent on our organization's program needs for that semester.  Remote internships are only available for individuals living and working in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Alaska, and Washington.  

NOTE: If you interested in using this internship placement to fulfill a practicum, capstone, or course credit requirement, please contact
