The Virtual Global & Public Health Internship- Mexico offers undergraduate, pre-health, and graduate-level participants the unique opportunity to explore global and public health issues broadly, highlighting how health systems around the world deliver healthcare in a variety of diverse environments, exploring cultural interplays in urban and rural areas, and incorporating indigenous healing practices. Students learn how communities are addressing their most pressing health challenges, including chronic disease, maternal-child health, infectious disease, and reproductive health, all while gaining insights into the public health realities of the region. The internship is enriched with cross-cultural assessment and interaction tools, and with carefully planned cultural activities that allow participants to experience the rich diversity of CFHI’s global partner communities.
This internship is eight weeks long.

I would absolutely recommend this program to others because it was a great opportunity to learn about other cultures and connect with people from other countries during a time where I could not leave the country. I loved the Spanish language learning aspect, and I loved the opportunity to learn from health professionals around the world on the same zoom call.
I would definitely recommend this program to others. I think this is a great program to learn about other cultures as well as how healthcare is handled in different countries. This program exposed me to new information and forced me to think in ways I had not previously thought. I believe the experience was extremely valuable.
I would definitely recommend it, it was truly rewarding even in a virtual format. I learned a lot about the culture and the people, and I can only imagine that would be even better if I could learn it in person and in country. I really enjoyed learning about the culture and area of Oaxaca, what it was like to live there, about the people, the architecture, the food, the shops, the nature, environment, and attractions.
