Internships & student placements
HealthBridge regularly hosts student placements from universities as well as individuals looking for meaningful work experience. We will work with you to define a program that will be an enriching learning experience, enabling you to refine, extend, apply, and practise sector-specific knowledge and skills for you and contribute to our mission.

To date, HealthBridge has hosted students from:
- Carleton University

Consultants
HealthBridge maintains a roster of consultants based in Ottawa and internationally for short and medium-term assignments; we keep names on the roster for a period of one year.
Any assignments will require expertise and experience in a range of technical disciplines related to our programs. The ability to speak multiple languages, and work experience in various countries, with various members of the health sector (NGOs, ministries of health, UN, etc) is valued. The assignments usually require travel.
Please send all enquiries to admin@healthbridge.ca. We thank you in advance for your interest in HealthBridge.
