Title V MCH Internship Program – Students

Information for Students

“Truly a phenomenal program and a fantastic opportunity. I am so lucky to have been able to participate in this program.”
– Title V MCH intern

In summer 2023, the National Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Workforce Development Center will support at least 7 teams of MCH students to participate in internships in state and territorial Title V programs.

What is Title V?

Title V agencies are funded through the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant and are typically located within state and territorial health departments. Title V refers to the state-federal partnership program that aims to “improve the health and well-being of women (particularly mothers) and children.” The aim of the Title V MCH Internship Program is to provide future MCH professionals with experience working in state and jurisdictional Title V agencies under the mentorship and guidance of Title V agency preceptors.

The program will start June 5, 2023 and last 10 weeks. Students are expected to work full-time (35-40 hours per week). The 2023 program may be in-person or virtual, depending on the needs of the agency and student.

The agency and student(s) can decide to flex the work schedule based on student and preceptor needs and preferences, as well as public health considerations.
