Our Applied Health Internship provides hands-on experience supporting occupational health and human performance optimization efforts across aerospace, public safety, medical, and other high-consequence industries. Interns work directly with Applied Health Specialists assisting with functional movement assessments, ergonomic evaluations, workload analyses, and physical performance testing. The role includes supporting data collection, preparing scientific manuscripts for review, applied biomechanics assessments, documentation of findings, and preparation of research and development projects focused on applied health performance in specialized civilian and military environments.
Interns will also assist with structured task analyses, human performance benchmarking, and applied human factors evaluations related to strength, conditioning demands, fatigue, and operational readiness. Additional tasks may include supporting statistical analysis of collected data, contributing to testing plans and usability evaluations, and assisting in the development of procedures, training outlines, and performance improvement strategies.
Background in Kinesiology, sports & exercise science, or allied health sciences is preferred. Interns gain practical experience working alongside applied health specialists, human factors engineers, and project managers while contributing to real client deliverables focused on injury risk reduction, workforce readiness, and sustainable performance.
