She brought enthusiasm and excellence to analysis of important health policy issues and inspired those alongside whom she worked. We honor her memory by offering this internship to a University of Michigan graduate student in public policy or health policy who is dedicated to the ideals that Rebecca epitomized. About the Internship We seek a high-achieving individual who is thoughtful and analytical, with interests and experiences in health policy analysis. This is a full-time paid internship, with flexible start and end dates, for a graduate student who has completed at least one year of coursework in public policy or public health. The work will be focused on relevant, timely health policy issues.
