I hope you are doing well. I’m reaching out to share an exciting opportunity for your students to gain hands-on experience in public health and medical research through the Public Health Research Institute of India (PHRII, www.phrii.com ).

We are an NIH training site and a Global Health Equity Scholarship site.

This summer, PHRII is offering a Three-week immersive undergraduate internship program where students can explore public health in action, particularly in low-resource settings. This program provides an opportunity to engage directly with health systems, research projects, and local communities, all while gaining valuable insights into the workings of healthcare in India.

The program includes:
