Health & Well-Being Summer Non-Clinical Intern

Summary

This summer intern will work alongside a team of registered dietitians to advance the Food Is Medicine platform and strategy, supporting both preventive and treatment initiatives. The intern will assist with program planning, implementation, and evaluation, attend daily meetings, and collaborate closely with the team. This role provides the opportunity to engage in a variety of nutrition-related projects, including areas such as food insecurity and access, chronic disease and lifestyle medicine, and youth and family nutrition.

Throughout the internship, the intern will assist the Community Nutrition Supervisor and team with tasks such as maintaining the recipe library, updating educational materials, and supporting the development of an electronic library of nutrition resources. Additional projects will include integrating scopes of work into the Food Is Medicine strategy, building a comprehensive electronic resource library, and hosting tastings at the HEAL Farm Market.
