The Life-Health Sciences Internship Program provides students with an opportunity to apply their academic coursework in a paid internship experience on or near the IUPUI campus. Students are placed in professional internships with faculty and staff in health and science fields.
This year, we worked with 72 interns. View summaries of their work in our booklet. Click their photos below to go to the ePortfolio and see what they've learned. Some require IU an log-in.
