The American Council on Science and Health Young Scientists in America program is a series of internships in specific fields specifically designed for younger scholars who intend to go into science or medicine but haven't completed their Ph.D.s or M.D.s yet. These paid internships are research or science journalism projects related to our work educating the public about important science and health issues.
