Morehouse College - Project IMHOTEP is an 11-week summer internship program designed
to increase the knowledge and skills of underrepresented minority students in biostatistics,
epidemiology, and occupational safety and health. The program begins with two weeks
of intense educational training in public health courses such as Public Health & Health
Disparities, Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Scientific Writing. During the following
nine weeks, interns are paired in a one-on-one mentored relationship with experts
at CDC, academic institutions, local and state agencies, or community based organizations
to complete a public health research project. In addition, interns participate in
a variety of seminars, workshops, educational initiatives and are required to complete
16 hours of community service.
