Located in Roseburg OR, Aviva Health is a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center that delivers medical, dental, behavioral health, and speciality care to more than 15,000 community members annually from nine clinical sites across the area.
But we’re more than a health center – we’re change agents addressing needs that go beyond patient care. With an eye on healthcare workforce development, Aviva Health launched the country’s only family medicine residency program, an effort focused on tackling provider shortages in rural areas of the state.
Equally important is the effort to grow health administration leaders who understand the unique challenges of delivering quality care in rural areas and capitalizing on opportunities as they come available. The MHA/MPH internship program is uniquely tailored for individuals who are eager to disrupt the status quo of rural healthcare delivery and drive positive change.
If you’re looking for an internship that puts you behind the wheel to drive change, consider the Aviva Health MHA/MPH internship program.
