Health Professions Partnership Grants

Health Professions Partnership Grants are clinical internship programs supported by dedicated ASIP funds. If you are accepted to one of the programs below, you automatically receive a grant for $5,500 and will be included in the cohort of ASIP summer interns, completing all the same assignments and adhering to the same requirements.

Applications are due by Sunday, March 2 by 11:55pm EST. They are briefly reviewed by a Health Professions Partnership Committee who then passes along viable candidates to the host organizations for final review. The host organizations will schedule interviews over spring break, so be sure you check your email or phone during that time. Host organizations will then notify accepted candidates who will have 48 hours to accept or decline the offer. Accepted candidates will then receive the acceptance paperwork from the ’68 Center to confirm their enrollment in the internship. Any students who do not receive an invitation may either be notified directly by the host organization, or through the ’68 Center.

Read the job descriptions below, and then click the link to apply. You are welcome to apply to one program or both. If you apply to both, you will need to fill out 2 separate applications. Additionally, if you receive offers from both organizations, you will have to choose one or the other; you cannot do both.

  • Interested in a clinical fellowship in NYC screening patients for unmet social need and connecting them to community resources?

    Where: Jacobi Medical Center , Bronx, NY 

    Who: Dr. Beth Worley ‘90, Director of Reach Out and Read-Jacobi Medical Center, Attending Physician in the Pediatric Ambulatory Clinic, Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics-The Albert Einstein College of Medicine

    Anticipated Start Date: Tuesday, May 27, 2025-Friday, August 8, 2025 (Flexible dates-must be at least 8 weeks)

    Please note: Housing for Summer of 2025: Students are responsible for making their own housing arrangements.

    Dr. Beth Worley ‘90 is hosting up to 2 Williams student as Summer Public Health Fellows on-site at Jacobi Medical Center.

    To learn more about Dr. Worley visit the Jacobi website.

    Jacobi Medical Center is the largest public hospital in the Bronx and is a crucial health provider for underserved and uninsured patients in NYC. Our outpatient pediatric clinic is busy (we see about 40,000 visits per year!) and serves a diverse, urban community. Fewer than 40% of our patients speak English as a first language and more than 95% live near or below the poverty line. At baseline, this patient population is burdened by a myriad of health challenges as well as socioeconomic circumstances that foster poor health outcomes. Many of our families are facing eviction and food insecurity, and even more are struggling to meet their family’s most basic needs.

    2025 Summer Public Health Fellows Description: This summer we are looking for one/two undergraduate students to help in several outpatient initiatives aimed at improving the lives of our most at risk patients.

    You will be helping with our emergency food relief program (assembling and tracking food baskets each week), reading to patients in our waiting rooms, stocking our bookshelves and speaking with parents about pro-literacy behaviors and community resources (library hours, etc) as a part of our Reach Out and Read program.

    Summer interns will also be tasked with running the Welcome Baby initiative. Welcome Baby provides a box of essential supplies for at-risk newborns. Each Welcome Baby package contains a one month supply of: diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, newborn clothing, swaddle blankets, diaper cream, as well as a thermometer, grooming kit and a baby carrier. This summer interns will begin giving these packages to newborns and their mothers at the first newborn visit. Interns will give basic parenting education and guidance along with the packages. We will also be studying the impact of this intervention. The students’ participation in this initiative will involve:

    • Interacting with patients and their families in the mother/baby clinic
    • Assisting families with survey completion
    • Stocking, transporting, dispensing and tracking boxes
    • Chart review and data collection

    Summer interns may also spend 5 hours/week with the neonatal clinical team learning about newborn medicine. The experience is likely to include: observing deliveries of term and preterm newborns, exposure to newborn resuscitation, shadowing in the newborn nursery, and attending rounds in the neonatal ICU.

    Applicants should be responsive, VERY independent and flexible. Jacobi is a busy, urban hospital. The environment can be chaotic, so being self directed is tremendously important.  This internship is best suited for applicants who can jump into a busy environment and seek out opportunities to learn/be useful without tremendous supervision.  Fluency in Spanish, Bengali or Arabic is a HUGE plus. Hours: 9am-5pm Monday-Friday

    Applications due: Submit resume, cover letter and contact details for two references via the Health Professions Partnership Application by Sunday, March 2

    Your resume and cover letter should indicate your ability to successfully achieve the following:

    • self-motivate and perform independent work
    • exhibit strong interpersonal skills and empathy
    • connect your future goals to the work and mission of Jacobi Medical Center

    All eligible applications will be forwarded to Dr. Beth Worley ‘90 and the final decision rests with the Jacobi Medical Center. As a reminder, the host organizations will schedule interviews over spring break, so be sure you check your email or phone during that time. Host organizations will then notify accepted candidates who will have 48 hours to accept or decline the offer.
