CSIH's International Health Youth Internships Program seeks applicants
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CSIH's most recent program, the International Health Youth Internships
Program, addresses recent graduates and students about to graduate, who
are planning a career in health or in a health-related field. During
the first year of operation, 45 young Canadian professionals will benefit
from significant work experience in an international context, through
six to twelve month internship placements with organizations involved in international health.
Twenty (20) placements are funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade (DFAIT) and focus on international health activities
in industrialized countries. Another 25 internships are funded by the
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and focus on health in developing countries and countries of Central and Eastern Europe in
economic transition.

internships, please consult the Youth Internships WEB page at:
