International Institute of Health Promotion Internship
The IIHP is a worldwide interdisciplinary network of prestigious institutions working in the health promotion field. The IIHP was formed in 1994 to serve as a global center for the development and advancement of health promotion policies, programs, services and research. As the headquarters for the Institute, the NCHF serves as the facilitator for health promotion efforts of more than 50 cooperating institutions from 25 nations.

Internship opportunities abroad can be generated by contacting IIHP network members. Additional internship opportunities are available with the Program Manager here at the NCHF. Students can participate in international seminars, conferences or other special events on campus or in the city, and meet health promotion professionals from around the world. Students are welcome to visit the IIHP office and browse through the growing international collection of materials and/or talk with the Program Manager to learn more about what's going on outside of the U.S.
