Region 6 is dedicated to supporting future health sciences librarians, and we are eager to connect with LIS and iSchool students, educators, and administrators to identify new engagement opportunities.
Region 6 offers a 12-week virtual internship each Spring, entitled Mapping Health to Empower Communities. Focused on health literacy, health statistics resources, and mapping analytics software, students use the knowledge and skills they acquire to create a new county story for the Community Guide to Advance Health Information. We recognize that each student and each program is different, and we will do our best to tailor our engagement opportunities to meet your requirements, interests, and goals.
We look forward to hearing from you!
