Hi Sarah, there are several internships available in public health. You can explore opportunities at the CDC, the California Department of Public Health, and your local public health department. Visit their websites to check application dates and details. These internships can be competitive, so make sure to showcase your strengths in your applications and interviews.

Great!
This is an early advancement in thinking as a high schooler or an entering college student.
Public health and healthcare are vast fields with many opportunities; you can absolutely pursue an internship.
What can you do right now?
You can look at the College career page
Volunteer at a local hospital or clinic for the front desk, patient transport
Enrolling in the LinkedIn platform for a healthcare internship
You can also try these programs that accept high school students/ incoming college freshmen:
CDC pathways internship program, Ladder internship program, Lumiere list, which is a
healthcare internship for high school students, attending Community health events, and also nonprofits
Maximize your chances by learning soft skills that will be helpful.
Best of luck,
