OHSU University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) Summer Internship Program (SIP) will open its application on December 1, 2025! This opportunity is open to high school and undergraduate students—please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested.
The UCEDD SIP offers students hands-on experience in the disability field, opportunities to build valuable transferable skills, and exposure to a wide range of career pathways in health care—especially those connected to disability and inclusion. Each intern is paired one-on-one with a supervisor and placed within the Institute on Development and Disability at OHSU, creating a supportive environment for learning and growth.
You can find more details at www.ohsu.edu/SIP, and a flyer.
