Ryan Mire, MD Summer Internship Program
The Ryan Mire, MD Internship program is designed to help expand equity within US healthcare by providing undergraduate students with firsthand exposure to some of the variety of career opportunities which influence health, medicine, and public policy. The internship program provides a paid, 8-week opportunity for students completing their 3rd year of college, who have demonstrated an interest in medicine, public health, public policy, or other disciplines of healthcare administration. The program involves project assignments and health career-related activities, while students learn about the internal medicine profession through mentoring from ACP members and site visits to a wide range of healthcare settings.
