The Summer Internship Program is a 3-week, mentorship-based program, from June 5 to June 23, 2023 that is open to undergraduate students interested in health policy and economics.

This program is specifically designed to provide undergraduate USC students with the opportunity to:
- Develop research skills and gain practical experience in health policy and economics research.
- Contribute to a research project under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
- Participate in seminars and “journal club” discussions.
- Gain a deeper understanding of the field.
