Director of Student Programming Internship Application

Are you interested in Advocacy, Community and Public Health, Global Health, Health Policy, Humanistic Medicine, Medical Education, or Medical Student Well-Being?

Do you have fabulous new ideas to improve the projects, programs, and conferences that AMSA brings to its members?

Are you excited to learn more about AMSA, to build your leadership skills, and to work with incredibly fun and talented colleagues in the world of medicine?

Then, apply now for an internship with AMSA's Director of Student Programming (DSP). The DSP oversees AMSA's 6 Action Committees and 9 Interest Groups, helps to plan Regional Conferences and National Convention, oversees AMSA's Medical Student Well-Being Initiative, and so much more. Most importantly, the DSP has the privilege of serving as the primary resource and advocate for all AMSA members interested in providing quality programming opportunities at their chapters and in their communities.

Internships are 4-8 weeks in length and held at the AMSA National Office in Reston, Virginia, just one half-hour outside of Washington D.C. Position dates are flexible and available year-round. Although AMSA does not provide a stipend, free housing is available and we are pleased to offer you a letter of recommendation upon the successful completion of your internship.

The completed application consists of a current resumé and a letter of intent (of no more than 1000 words), addressing the following:

  1. Name, address, phone number, email address
  2. Preferred dates for the internship
  3. Current university or medical school, year of study, area(s) of study
  4. Description of your interest and areas you'd like to pursue during the internship (particular Action Committee, Interest Group, Medical Student Well-Being, etc.)
  5. Future career plans and how this internship will further your goals

Applications should be submitted by email to dsp@amsa.org. Please mail a hard copy to the address below if you do not have access to email.
