MiOra interns are trained as Community Health Specialists. Interns conduct cutting edge health, policy and STEM research projects. They work remotely on their own time and wherever they are. They learn how to develop surveys, collect and analyze data, do literature research, develop poster and manuscripts. They gain experience in networking and learn how to most effectively connect with experts and potential future professors and employers.
MiOra interns elevate their career trajectory and help others while they are helping themselves. They find their strengths and purpose, and improve the health of their community through scientific discovery, health fairs, community outreach campaigns and policy initiatives. They present their accomplishments at local scientific, public health and quality improvement conferences, and build their communication skills and confidence.
Our goal is to provide advanced internship exposure to high school and college students interested in a career in the health-care profession. This experience will help strengthen their resume for college, medical, pharmacy, and grad-school entry.
MiOra’s mission is to provide an opportunity to students to conduct cutting edge health and STEM research through no-barrier experiential certificate internships. MiOra interns work with renowned experts and make a change in the world by improving public health through science, community service or advocacy, and policy initiatives.
