Description
The Graduate Student Epidemiology Program (GSEP) is an internship and leadership program funded by a HRSA grant that encourages epidemiology graduate students to pursue careers in maternal and child health (MCH) epidemiology. The internship component is a full-time, 10-week commitment during the summer where interns are matched with a host site (health departments or non-profit organizations) to complete research and projects. Interns also receive a $7,000 stipend provided by the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP).
