Illinois Department of Public Health Internship Program


The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is one of the State’s oldest agencies - originally established in 1877 to regulate medical practitioners and to promote sanitation. Today, IDPH is responsible for protecting the state's 12.8 million residents, as well as countless visitors, through the prevention and control of disease and injury. With over 200 programs, IDPH touches virtually every age, aspect, and cycle of life.
IDPH’s internship program offers college students an opportunity to learn from everyone around you, ask questions, and most importantly, gain an educational experience to enhance one’s development by learning firsthand how a state agency operates.
