Are you passionate about medical science and eager to make a difference in the community? The internship program at The Health Museum might just be the perfect fit for you. Check out the variety of opportunities we offer as your pathway toward a career in museum services or medical science.

For College Students

We welcome applications from students at the University of Houston, University of Houston – Downtown, Texas Women’s University, Sam Houston University, and Rice University. For application details, please visit your university’s network.

For almost 20 years, ExxonMobil Foundation has sponsored the Community Summer Jobs Program in Houston, which provides college undergraduates paid summer internships.

Students interested in participating must be currently enrolled undergraduate students returning to college full-time as a sophomore, junior, or senior in the fall following the summer program.

 The application period for local nonprofit organizations to participate in the 2024 ExxonMobil Foundation Community Summer Jobs Program is now closed.  Please check back towards the end of the year for information on applying for the 2025 program.

“This internship was the first opportunity I had to collaborate, network, and learn new aspects of the health field in such a formal setting. Not only that, it taught me numerous other skills that would help me in the long run, such as public speaking, teamwork, and fine motor skills.”
