Trojan Talk with Health Career Connection

Join representatives from Health Career Connection to learn about the positions they will be recruiting for on campus. 

If you are interested in a career in medicine, health administration, public health, health policy, nursing, behavioral or mental health, or allied health specialties, health information technology, or a related field dedicated to reducing health disparities; please attend a Trojan Talk on Health Career Connection's Summer 2018 internship program!

HCC’s program connects college students with internship opportunities through which they gain the necessary exposure, experience, and mentorship to discover and launch their authentic health careers. HCC offers an educational stipend, so expense is not a barrier to participating in this opportunity— as is often the case for underrepresented students. In addition, HCC connects participants with diverse role models, fosters community support, and provides specialized training to inspire and prepare program participants to become the change agents in their organizations, communities and our nation.

Through this approach HCC interns are empowered to make better informed decisions about their health career and graduate education choices. It also opens doors for them to launch their health careers. Interns have major “a ha’s” as they discover what they do and don’t want to do. They also learn how to get from where they are to where to be and have stronger connections and support to help them succeed. HCC places interns who qualify through our rigorous selection process, at organizations that match their interests, skills, and career direction. HCC placements are designed to help interns support organizations, programs, and health initiatives that serve underserved populations and address current and emerging health and public health needs.

Interns are placed in paid, full-time summer internships, contribute to meaningful projects, and hone their professional skills. This is an educational experience designed to complement students’ academic learning, and empower students to succeed in and complete college. HCC has a specific commitment to increase diversity in the health profession workforce.
