Student Leadership Opportunities

HealthSTAT is a student-run, non-profit organization.  From volunteers to the student Board of Directors, nothing happens in HealthSTAT without student leaders. We have opportunities for you to join existing projects and also to bring new projects and initiatives to HealthSTAT.

Become a School Liason!

Apply to work on the Board of Directors!

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, HealthSTAT is governed by a Board of Directors who are responsible for maintaining the organization’s mission and ensuring legal and fiduciary compliance as well as raising money to support our work. The Board of Directors for HealthSTAT is comprised almost exclusively of current health professional students in Georgia.  In addition to quarterly meetings, each board member is responsible for overseeing different organizational components and program areas.

If you are interested in learning more about the Board of Directors, send us an email at info@healthstatgeorgia.org.

Intern at HealthSTAT!

Federal Work Study positions: We are an authorized partner with Emory University’s Financial Aid Office to hire Emory students who have Federal Work Study as part of their financial aid package.  Unfortunately, we do not have this authorization with any other schools at this time (if you think your school would be interested, talk to your financial aid office and then have them contact us).  We typically hire 2-3 work study students a year to help coordinate office and program activities.  We will post these below, on the Emory job search site, as well as send out an announcement through the Rollins School of Public Health Career Services office.

Summer Internships: Sometimes we have funds available to hire students for summer projects.  When we do, they will be listed here.

Practicum/Thesis Opportunities: We are always willing to help you with practicum, thesis, or service learning requirements.  Occasionally we have projects you can work on, but often, you will need to have an idea and we can house it and help connect and guide you.
