25-30 hands-on practicum experiences are available at multiple times throughout the year through various state, tribal and territorial environmental health agencies. Interns receive a stipend of $8,000 as well as need-based financial assistance for relocation up to $500 and time spent can be applied as practicum hours required for your degree.
This training program is designed to best fit the interests of EOH students and each year, there are multiple opportunities to complete environmental public health practice and/or interesting research on air monitoring, exposure projects, risk assessment, epidemiology, etc.
Both the type of opportunity and the location can be selected to best suit you. There are a variety of opportunities here in Pittsburgh, as well as across the country and around the world. If you choose to leave Pittsburgh, you may want to go closer to home or near a friend or other relative. We have even had some remote opportunities.
