One Health Museum Internships
The Global One Health Academy has partnered with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to offer One Health summer internships.

Eligible applicants of the One Health Museum Internships must be NC State graduate or veterinary student with an interest in One Health – the idea that the health of plants, animals, humans, and the environment is interconnected and must be addressed holistically.
