Intern (14384) Water Health Educator, Battle Creek, MI TemporaryUnpaid internship |
| Job Description: Pursuant to the Enbridge oil spill in Marshall, Michigan (see Enbridge field study at www.waterhealtheducator.com), a community leader in Battle Creek, Michigan is looking for student interns/practicum students for an in-depth health study involving vulnerable populations suffering from the adverse health effects from the oil spill. They are hoping to find students to conduct health surveys (both physical and mental health), socio and economic census of the affected area and to build upon current research. The Michigan health study of the oil spill (also available on the WHE website) plans to have no followup or proactive health programs, due to funding constraints, so the populations most affected (mainly mobile home communities and small farmers) are looking for students to help to write both newspaper and academic articles, worth with reporters and health clinics in the area, and possibly start a free clinic. This is entirely unpaid, including any travel expenses, but we strongly urge prospective interns to seek any possible grant or funding from local philanthropic organizations or their university. Students are being recruited from both the Virginia and Michigan areas and will have various experts in the field to work with during their commitment. Time commitments can be as little as one week to an entire semester. |
| Qualifications: Undergraduate Interns or Graduate Practicum Students in Global Health, Anthropology, Environmental Policy or Nursing Needed in Battle Creek, Michigan |
