Internship Remote Cannabis Research Jobs (NOW HIRING)

International Health Alliance (IHA) offers unique internships that are designed not just for academic enhancement but for cultivating a deep-seated passion for healthcare and humanitarian service. We believe that healthcare should be an accessible right for everyone, even in the most impoverished areas of the world. Our interns have the opportunity to not only stand out for graduate school admissions and career applications but, more importantly, to help people around the world that are in critical need of medical care.

Our Global Research Program (Remote Track) is a unique opportunity for students to combine research design, data analysis, and real-world healthcare exposure. Over ten weeks, participants will work alongside medical professionals to develop their own research questions, design structured data collection tools (such as surveys and questionnaires), and contribute to improving access to healthcare in low-resource communities. Unlike traditional programs, participants in this track will focus on the design and analysis components of research, while IHA's on-the-ground medical teams in the Dominican Republic implement these tools and collect real-world data during mobile clinics.

Students will then work with this dataset to interpret findings and contribute to research outputs. This internship is unpaid. Program Duration: 10 Weeks Overview: 10 Weeks Remote Training and Research Experience: Dive into a structured curriculum delivered through 2-hour live and recorded online sessions each week.
