How Do I Apply?

California Pathways into Public Health (Pathways) Internship Program applicants must apply through the online job posting via UEI. Following completion of the UEI job application, applicants will receive a supplemental survey via email directly from the Pathways team. Please make sure the email used to apply is accurate and checked on a frequent basis.

Pathways recommends having your resume available when beginning the online application process.

Internship applications require both steps to be completed:

Completion of the online job listing posted through UEI

Applications for the Fall 2025 Internship: CLOSED
Spring 2025 Internship Program Information Session: Watch Now!

Completion of the supplemental application

Due to the large volume of application, Pathways is unable to respond to the status inquiries or to provide feedback on individual applications.

After submissions are reviewed, a select number of applicants will be invited to interview with the Pathways team.
