East Shore District Health Department

Serving Branford, East Haven, and North Branford

The East Shore District Health Department (ESDHD) offers both undergraduate and graduate internship opportunities in our various programs.

We aim to offer student interns a well-rounded public health internship. We pride ourselves on offering student-centered, practical experiences within the student’s area of specialization, under the guidance of an experienced health department preceptor or mentor.

We aim to ensure that each student-intern:

  • Develops increased levels of confidence
  • Refines knowledge and skills
  • Is provided the opportunity to work hands-on within the communities we serve
  • Learns about all of the programs that we offer

This results in the student-intern receiving valuable exposure to a wide range of public health opportunities!

If you are interested in applying for an internship, please send a copy of your resume and your completed employment application (above) to ematuska@esdhd.org.
