AFYA GLOBAL HEALTH SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Afya Foundation is hosting a one-week intensive summer internship for high school students committed to global health.
These opportunities are designed for the students to learn about global health issues through targeted lectures. The application of their growing knowledge will result in a hands-on project dedicated to Afya’s mission to help eliminate health disparities in medically underserved communities.
