Duke University Integrative Health Internship

Program Description: Internship opportunities are available at the Duke Center for Living for motivated graduate or undergraduate students majoring in health science, exercise physiology, kinesiology or human physiology. We are dedicated to providing an excellent internship program by offering the opportunity for numerous hands on experiences and enriching educational opportunities.
Interns gain experience working with clinical trials investigating the effects of exercise interventions on cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in the laboratory of William Kraus, M.D. Interns will have the opportunity to become familiar with the function and operation of laboratory equipment used for subject testing and collection of physiological data while assisting with data collection, data reduction, and data analysis. Specifically, interns will take an active role in cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing, muscle strength and physical function testing, body composition analysis, as well as the supervision of exercise interventions in a variety of populations. In addition, interns may be involved in taking blood samples (from an IV), spinning and pipetting plasma for OGTT, and other studies involving blood sampling (e.g. hyperglycemic clamps).
.
• Interns will be assigned one or more mentors to help coordinate their specific internship goals and responsibilities, and will report to this person for the duration of the internship.
• Internships are a minimum of 15 weeks (17-18 weeks preferred) during fall, spring or summer semesters.
• All interns will be expected to work 40 hours per week.
• Unfortunately, no stipend is provided. However, travel and/or rent expenses are paid up to a total of $2,000 (15 weeks) - $2,500 (18 weeks). Full description at the link below:
