Health science courses: MUHS summer internship programme for UG students

“The objective is to give an opportunity to undergraduate candidates to utilize the summer vacation period for value addition through extra-curricular activities. The SIP will provide a platform to learn and understand diverse culture and traditional practices, along with research exposure for those interested in potential careers in health sciences and public health,” states the notification issued by MUHS, which also includes the admission schedule.

The notification adds, “The idea is that each intern will work with his/her mentor to create a summer plan that supplements the intern’s applied progress with other career and scientific development activities. It is a sort of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skill development in a professional setting.”

Interested candidates may apply online for this elective module and seat allotment will be done based on merit, where academic performance and statement of purpose by the candidate will be evaluated by the varsity. The observership, which may be up to a maximum duration of four weeks, will also include a stipend of Rs 2500 and an online certificate will be issued upon completion.
