Explore a career in medicine, public health or human services through an unpaid internship at Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program. Gain experience and in-depth learning in one or more areas of homeless medicine, including:
- Walk-in medical clinics
- Adult respite care
- Medical office administration
- Research
Internships are most often structured by combining several positions to expose individuals to a variety of service experiences and program teams/sites. We look to provide balance in our internships by assigning individuals to roles that involve both patient contact in clinical settings, as well as positions that are administrative in nature, whenever possible. Please note that because internships are based on volunteer openings it can be difficult to predict availability well in advance.
Additionally, BHCHP offers 3-5 “brown bag lunch” seminars during the semester/summer, featuring staff speakers from various teams/sites from our program. These are designed to further enhance an intern’s education around homelessness and health care.
Hours: Weekdays, mornings and/or afternoons. A limited amount of weekend and evening work may be available.
Commitment: 12 - 40 hours per week, for a summer, semester or academic year, depending on availability of positions.
Location: Multiple sites in and around Boston.
