Prevention Institute is now accepting applications for Graduate Interns for the summer of 2014. We're looking for graduate students who are committed to improving health and safety and reducing inequities through a focus on prevention. You’ll have a chance to grow your skills by working with our organizational teams to address health and social issues using a prevention approach, including violence prevention, injury prevention, traffic safety, health reform implementation and healthy food and physical activity promotion.
