Columbia's Summer Public Health Scholars Program (SPHSP) is currently accepting applications until January 31, 2019.
This program is a partnership between Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, College of Dental Medicine, School of Nursing, and the Mailman School of Public Health. SPHSP is designed to increase interest in and knowledge of public health and biomedical careers for juniors, seniors, and recent undergraduates. This competitive program equips students with the skill set and tools they need to pursue public health by providing rigorous public health coursework, hands-on field experience, seminars and workshops, and mentorship opportunities in New York City.
The 10-week program begins with a one-week orientation and ends with a showcase and expo at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. Students are introduced to members of the CDC and have the opportunity to present their summer projects. All accepted students will receive housing accommodations on Columbia University’s Morningside campus along with a living stipend. All travel for students will also be covered by the program.
The program will be hosting a virtual information session via Facebook Live for students who are interested in learning more about SPHSP. Students interested in participating in the virtual information session can add SHPSP on Facebook (@Sphsp Columbia) and join the Facebook Live this Friday, November 16th at 3:00 PM EST.
