Past host organizations

Background on the program

Host organizations include non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local community groups, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), hospitals, health ministries, UN Programs, public health associations and universities.

Organizations working in the international health field are invited by CSIH to submit proposals for internships. The selection process is as follows:
  • Organizations interested in hosting an intern submit a proposal to CSIH based on specific guidelines and criteria.

  • The YIP Advisory Committee makes a selection of the best internships presented by host organizations.

  • Selected internship opportunities are advertised on the CSIH web page and other CSIH networks so that young graduates can choose placements for which they wish to apply. Host organizations make the final selection of interns and assign a mentor to support and supervise each intern.

Organizations host interns for a minimum of six months and provide them with support for their job search activities on completion of their internships.

If your organization is interested in acting as host for an intern through our program, please send an email to us with the name, title, and email address of the contact person, as well as the name of your organization and the country or region in which you could place an intern. You will receive updates and calls for proposals via email when CSIH is accepting applications for new host organizations.
