Since 2013, PHAST has been going to Grenada in partnership with several organizations on the island. The University of Michigan School of Public Health (UM SPH) Grenada Partnership serves to achieve sustained academic partnerships for public health education and practice collaboration.
The summer internship program is an opportunity for Master’s students to gain public health experience in a structured setting. Each summer, 2 UM SPH interns travel to Grenada for an 8-week internship, supervised by pre-selected Grenada mentors. Over the years we have established mentors in institutions throughout Grenada, including the Grenada Red Cross, the Grenada Planned Parenthood Association, the Ministry of Social & Community Development, Housing and Gender Affairs, and more. The internship program is offered schoolwide and does not require any prior connection or familiarity with Grenada before undertaking a Grenada internship.
Through this experience, you will embark on a transformative internship experience in Grenada, where you will have the unique opportunity to merge theoretical knowledge with real-world impact. Our internship program strongly emphasizes community partnership and ensures a comprehensive understanding of practical applications within the field.

Eligibility:
Completion of the PH 616: Grenada course is mandatory.
First-year master's students or dual degree students who have not yet completed a public health internship, in any department at SPH are eligible.
