Careers

The UIC School of Public Health offers many different resources to our students as they start exploring their post-graduate career. The Career Services office is dedicated to helping students and alumni with their job search and career development needs through information on career opportunities, internships, career resources and offering career focused events throughout the academic year. We would highly encourage any current student to create a Handshake profile to easily search and apply for open job opportunities. For more information and resources from UIC SPH Career Services, please reach out to Laura Roman at roman12@uic.edu.
