Clinical Research Intern
The Research Division of Essential Access Health offers reproductive health internships in clinical research designed for students and college graduates looking forward to a career in medicine or health services. Internships may be flexible to accommodate individual coursework schedule and/or hour requirements.
We specialize in FDA regulated clinical trials of contraceptive products such as IUDs, hormonal rings, pills, and patches, and male and female condoms. Our sponsors include the National Institutes of Health, nonprofit organizations such as PATH and the Gates Foundation, and major pharmaceutical companies.
The Clinical Research Intern will be exposed to many aspects of clinical research. Individual assignment will depend on intern’s interests, experience and education. This is an unpaid internship that can be located in either our Los Angeles or Berkeley office.
