Montana INBRE Public Health Internship Pilot Program
The purpose of the INBRE Public Health Internship Program is to provide undergraduate
students from a wide range of academic disciplines with exposure to existing community
health issues, and an understanding of the tools available to investigate and solve these
issues. We hope that by gaining experience with professionals on the “front lines” of
community health and health disparities work, students will form a commitment to
becoming active citizens and addressing health and wellness issues in their communities.
INBRE is collaborating with Community Health Partners (CHP) and the Montana Area
Health Education Center (AHEC) / Montana Office of Rural Health (MORH) to offer
undergraduate internships focused on public health, health services, and wellness. CHP
provides health care for low-income and uninsured patients at its clinics in Gallatin and
Park Counties, and provides programs in early, adult, and family literacy, as well as
training in basic skills and education toward the GED. MT AHEC and MORH work to
address major health issues in rural and underserved communities, facilitate health
screenings for children, and coordinate networks of communitybased health and
wellness groups tackling development and service improvement projects. As part of a
pilot project during the 2008-2009 academic year, INBRE will recruit and fund two
outstanding students to pursue public health projects with these agencies during
Spring Semester 2009. Each student intern will develop a research or project plan with
CHP, AHEC and INBRE coordinators and spend approximately 10 hours per
week (for a total of 100 hours) investigating health and wellness issues, providing
services to agency clients, and pursuing a focused project associated with their work.
Students will have first-hand experience working to address the health needs of rural
and underserved populations through the agencies’ collaborative, community-based
approach to health care.
