More about the Academy’s internship programs
Alexandra Allen, 2020 Stark Health Policy Intern:
 “My internship offered me the opportunity to both (a) learn the political advocacy ropes on issues I was already working on, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and (b) branch out into new areas, including long-term care and Social Security issues.”
Interns accepted into one of the programs will work full-time for 11-12 weeks (May/June through August/September) with exact dates depending on the student’s college schedule. Students are placed/matched with different organizations in the DC area, based on interests and experience. All students receive an honorarium ($4,500 in 2020).
As part of the program, students participate in weekly seminars with Academy Members to help deepen knowledge of social insurance programs and current issues – including health equity, the impact of the pandemic, and more. Interns also have opportunities to join special events to connect within Academy Members.
More details about requirements and who should apply to each program are on our website: https://www.nasi.org/internship-opportunities.
Interested students should apply now.

* Our programs currently anticipate that interns will work at organizations in-person according to the organization’s protocols, and live in Washington, DC during the summer of 2021. The Academy will follow official public health guidelines as they are issued in the spring of 2021, and if necessary, transition to a virtual program (teleworking). Final arrangements will be discussed with each student selected for the program.
