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. We strive to achieve our mission by connecting interns with a professional network, giving them the necessary educational resources, and building up their academic confidence.
MiOra interns work on a wide range of project and topics including cancer awareness community outreach, men’s and women’s health outreach, vaccine awareness, and endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, and multiple myeloma cancer research.
MiOra interns not only make a positive impact in their respective communities but they also build their networks and get professional research experiences in the public health field.
Become a MiOra intern where you have the opportunity to work with like-minded peers and be mentored to success while being involved with STEM research projects, health fairs, community outreach programs, and much more
MiOra has greatly enhanced my understanding of and ability to carry out scientific research. I have learned so much from the other students and mentors that I have been surrounded by. Regardless of previous experience, MiOra will find a place for you and help you to succeed at whatever projects you choose to pursue.
From MiOra, I have obtained invaluable, practical experience through community health events, academic conferences, and publications. In fact, from my 2 years at MiOra, I received 2 manuscript publications, one in mental health and the other in STEM education, 2 abstract publications, both in diabetes prevention, and 7 conference poster projects.
These MiOra experiences have been priceless on my personal journey, from aspiring to become a doctor, to being accepted into the University of Rochester, School of Medicine and Dentistry (Class of 2024, MD). With each MiOra project, I have learned and further developed my personal and professional skills such that I have been able to grow not only as a researcher but also an individual more certain of my health-related passions.
During my internship with MiOra, I gained valuable experience. I had the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of public health research methodologies and the intricacies involved in developing research studies. My experience with MiOra provided me with a solid foundation as I transition into the clinical side of medicine.
I am excited to announce my commitment to Duke University’s School of Medicine, where I will be joining the Cardiac Sonography Program. I eagerly anticipate the chance to immerse myself in a large healthcare system at Duke University.
