CDPH Internship Program

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) offers paid internships for undergraduate and graduate students. Internships provide opportunities to work in a variety of different public health disciplines such as health education, epidemiology, health statistics, laboratory sciences, public policy, healthcare administration, human resources, information technology, data science, informatics, and communications. An internship with CDPH offers exposure to state-level public service and equips aspiring public health leaders with professional development opportunities to help prepare them for the workforce upon graduation. ​​​​​​​​​
