Undergraduate students in the Boston area who are interested in clinical psychology, public health, cancer research, smoking cessation, and/or mind body interventions are encouraged to apply to the Health Promotion and Resiliency Intervention Research (HPRIR) undergraduate clinical internship program at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Our undergraduate interns are an integral part of the HPRIR team, and work closely with, and under the supervision of, a faculty investigator within the program. During the course of their internship, students learn and hone skills in a variety of areas, including conducting literature reviews, qualitative coding, database creation and maintenance, manuscript preparation, etc. Students will also recieve career guidance and, occasionally, be provided opportunities to present their work with the department or attend national conferences.
