The Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI) offers two programs for students working with IHPI members over the summer. IHPI's summer student programs begin in early June and run through early August, with weekly lunch-and-learn sessions and student skill-building seminars.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all 2020 programs will take place virtually via Zoom. To ensure online security, each session will be hosted on the umich-health Zoom account and require a session-specific password. Students interested in registering for any of the sessions can do so by contacting Stephanie Jared, IHPI senior administrative assistant, at sjared@umich.edu.
- The Student Lunch-and-Learn Series is designed to provide students with opportunity to learn more about the educational and professional experiences of IHPI members. Each one-hour session will be co-hosted by two to three IHPI faculty members who will share their educational and professional experiences with student participants.
- The Student Skill Building Seminar Series is designed to engage students in topics that are both meaningful and beneficial to their professional and educational development. Each one-hour seminar will focus on a different topic.
