Global Nursing Interns (2025 — 2026)
Global Nursing Interns collaborate with UCSF and global faculty mentors and principal investigators to advance global nursing research. This collaborative, immersive experience invites interns to explore the power of nursing-led inquiry, participate in studies rooted in global health and nursing priorities, and develop the analytical and manuscript development skills essential for scholarly impact. Through each step of the research and manuscript development process, interns develop essential skills to contribute to the knowledge that drives better care, stronger systems, and healthier communities worldwide.
