Duke Center for Living Integrated Health Sciences Internship Program
Program Description:
Internship opportunities are available at the Duke Center for Living for motivated students majoring in health science, exercise physiology, kinesiology, human physiology, cardiac rehabilitation, or related fields. Interns will become familiar with the function and operation of laboratory equipment used for subject testing and collection of physiological data while assisting in scheduling, data collection, data reduction, and data analysis for clinical trials investigating the effects of exercise and/or dietary interventions on cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes. Specifically, interns will take an active role in cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing, echocardiograms, muscle strength and physical function testing, vascular reactivity/stiffness testing, body composition analysis, as well as the supervision of exercise interventions in a variety of populations. For more information on current research projects, please visit http://dclresearch.duhs.duke.edu/modules/research/ and http://NIVRL.medicine.duke.edu.
ˇ Interns will be assigned a mentor to help coordinate their specific internship goals and responsibilities, and will report to this person for the duration of the internship.
ˇ Internships are approximately 15 weeks in duration and are available during the fall, spring and summer semesters.
ˇ All interns will be expected to work 40 hours per week.
ˇ A monthly stipend of $300 will be provided.
Eligibility Requirements:
Preference will be given to students currently enrolled in a college or university exercise science program or related field; however, other interested candidates will be accepted when positions are available. Applicants with a GPA below 3.0 will not be considered. Excellent communication skills and a high level of professionalism are essential. Interns are expected to be highly motivated, organized, self-directed, and open to feedback in order to ensure a mutually beneficial internship experience.
Interested individuals should send a résumé and cover letter describing their background, academic standing/GPA, interests, and career goals along with contact information for three professional or academic references to Catherine Mikus, Ph.D. at catherine.mikus@duke.edu.
