Link to application website here. Internship duration: June 16 – Aug 15, 2025. Full-time (40 hours/week). Stipend: $5,000 for undergraduate students; $6,000 for graduate students.

Eligibility

Undergraduate students enrolled in an accredited college or university who will have completed at least two years of college (i.e. juniors and seniors only) by the OHIP summer and students enrolled in graduate programs are eligible to apply. Recent graduates cannot be out of school for more than six months prior to the start of OHIP (i.e. for summer 2025, students are not eligible if they graduated prior to December of 2024).

Our funding agencies do not allow us to provide internships to anyone considered post-doctorate (i.e. anyone who has an MD or a PhD by the summer of 2025 is NOT eligible for OHIP). In addition, we cannot offer positions to students who have doctorate degrees and are now pursuing a graduate degree (i.e. MD or MBBS pursuing an MPH).

A program of study in occupational health and safety is not a requirement. Your application should explain the link between your current area of study and workplace health and safety. For undergraduates, this could include public health, environmental studies, public policy, and other related studies. At the graduate level we often seek students enrolled in medicine, nursing, or public health programs, but consider students from other disciplines.

Student stipends comes from a federal government program which restricts student support to U.S. citizens and Alien/Permanent Residents (Green card holders). All students must provide evidence of being able to work in the U.S. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”) individuals or undocumented individuals are eligible to apply for the OHIP program. If accepted into the program, DACA students will have to provide an unexpired Employee Authorization Document (EAD) prior to participating in the program. It is possible that this program may change. Please contact Ingrid Denis at 1-888-347-2632 if you are a DACA applicant.

All student interns will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to the start of the OHIP summer. A fully vaccinated person includes those who have received their necessary booster dose(s). Additionally, all interns will be required to have a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending the OHIP Orientation at UCLA (June 16-18).

Transportation & Housing

OHIP will cover transportation costs to the 3-day orientation at UCLA. However, OHIP does not cover transportation costs to your host site, or commuting costs.

OHIP does not cover housing costs directly and hopes the stipend will help interns cover the cost of housing at the host site.
