Prospective interns may work on a variety of policy areas across the Health team's portfolio and will be assigned based on the intern's policy interests and the team's current project needs.

  • Improving access to long-term services and support for those with complex needs
  • Addressing health care infrastructure, workforce, and health IT barriers to health care services in rural areas

Qualifications:
