Spend time in the community listening to patient stories and gaining insight into the barriers to and opportunities for good health.

The Listening Project is a collaboration between the UW IPE Program and community clinics, such as the Seattle/King County Clinic.  Health sciences students from across professions are invited to participate as clinic-embedded story gatherers, with the intention of:

3. Engaging in critical self-reflection as related to values, ethics, communication and teamwork in healthcare

Student story-gatherers will be paired with an interprofessional partner for their time in the clinic, and will have opportunities to learn with, from and about their partner and their professional lens through the act of listening together.

The next Listening Project will take place from April 27-29, 2023 at the Seattle/King County Clinic.

Seattle’s PB process will work with community members to decide how to invest $27.2 million back into BIPOC communities. The funding for this PB program came from a $100 million fund earmarked by then Mayor Jenny Durkan after community groups demanded investments into Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities during the protests for Black lives in the summer of 2020. This is a great opportunity for you and your community to get involved, practice advocacy and leadership, and reinvest in our communities.

Hacking the Academy: Data Science for the Social Good

When: Tuesday, Jan 17, 2023, 1 – 2 p.m.

Event Sponsors: eScience Institute, Open Scholarship Commons, Research Commons

The University of Washington Data Science for Social Good summer program brings together students, stakeholders, and data and domain researchers to work on focused, collaborative projects for societal benefit. To tackle complex societal challenges, UW DSSG teams take a multi-dimensional approach that integrates data science techniques, ethical thinking, and stakeholder engagement to generate real-world benefits. Student fellows work on interdisciplinary teams led by project leads from academia, nonprofits, and government, along with data scientists at the eScience Institute who offer technical expertise and guidance. Throughout the 10-week summer program, students also participate in tutorials, workshops, mentoring, and career development talks with panelists who work in a variety of sectors. This hands-on program emphasizes learning opportunities for all participants as they collaboratively navigate exciting and challenging teamwork in pursuit of Data Science for Social Good.

Applicants must be enrolled students in the Spring 2023 term AND enrolled graduate students in Autumn 2023. This means undergraduates are eligible to apply only if they are seniors who are beginning graduate school in the fall.

Applications for the 2023 Internship Programs at the National Academy of Social Insurance are open. We invite graduate students, recent graduates, and qualified upper-division undergraduate students to apply for paid summer internships in public policy. Think about the talented young people you know—students, mentees, interns, and relatives—and encourage them to apply for an exciting summer working with an organization in Washington, DC.

Students interested in U.S. social insurance and related issues can consider one of the Academy’s nationally competitive internship programs:

• John Burton Internship on Workers’ Compensation Research and Policy
• Somers Research Internship on Long-Term Care and Aging
• Eileen Sweeney Graduate Internship in Disability Policy
• Rashi Fein Internship in Health Policy
• Congressman Pete Stark Health Policy Internship 
• Leeba Lessin Internship on Health and Medicare Policy

Find detailed program descriptions and candidate requirements in the Student Internship section of our website. Whether interns work at organizations in-person, according to the organization’s protocols, or virtually will be determined by official public health guidelines as they are issued in the spring of 2023. Final arrangements will be discussed with each student selected for the program.

Application deadlines:

Rashi Fein Internship in Health Policy: Friday, January 13, 2023

All other internships: Friday, January 27, 2023

Interested students can apply online.

For more information, please contact Ariella Jailal, Program Coordinator, at internships@nasi.org.
