For full consideration, HRTP should receive the following postmarked on or before the deadline:
1. An electronic application
2. A current resume
3. A personal statement/ essay
4. An official transcript from your current institution
5. One letter of recommendation and the recommendation form
HRTP is open to undergraduate, graduate and professional school students of public health, healtheducation, laboratory sciences, medicine, social work, environmental engineering, public administration,accounting, mathematics, computer science, law, nursing and the social sciences. HRTP offers dynamicinternships in public health research, community health outreach and education, fieldwork, laboratory workand public health administration.
In some cases, financial support is available for HRTP students working on DOHMH projects. Some projects may provide a stipend. In other cases, some students in the Federal College Work-Study Program may be able to apply their award to the work done here at the agency – we ask that you verify this with your university or contact us for additional information. Students who are unable to obtain funding may participate in the program as a volunteer.
At this time, we would appreciate your assistance in publicizing the opportunities and benefits of a public health internship through HRTP. For additional information about the program or for applications please visit the HRTP website:
http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/career/hrtp.shtml . I have also attached an electronic copy of our brochure and a one-page flyer which further describes the program and provides a sample of past projects. Please feel free to share these with your colleagues and with your students.
We look forward to hosting your students in the coming session of HRTP.
Please feel free to contact me with your questions or for further discussions about the program.
