Description: This evidence-based health system is physician-led. Our mission is to make sure people are learning lifelong habits so they can get off the diet/yo-yo cycle. We accomplish this through a four-pronged approach: 

1. Health Coach- every client receives this one-on-one personal support, this is what you (as an intern) would have the opportunity to experience (with the help of your mentor) 
2. Community- because we become like the people we spend the most time with, it's imperative to plug each client into our private online community as well as our weekly community calls so they are each surrounded by others who are also moving forward in their health 
3. Education- As clients work with you (and your mentor) we will work together through Dr Anderson's habits of health system. These books are designed to reprogram those habits keeping clients from moving forward in their health. The books are equipped to help each client rewrite their story, and develop the power to install habits for the rest of their life 
4. Simple Structured Nutrition Plans- which are easy to follow, making it possible for clients to focus on the heart and head work required to make lasting changes.

Position Description:

Interns will have the opportunity to develop specific projects that will help advance their professional skill set, gain an understanding about how healthcare data are managed at the state, and learn about an array of functional areas. These functional areas include, but are not limited to: budgeting & finance, analytics, state law, healthcare policy, patient safety, meeting facilitation and public speaking, healthcare research, privacy and compliance, grant writing and healthcare quality and satisfaction. The intern will work under the supervision and mentorship of the office director, and will have regular check-ins to track project progress, ensure interns have the opportunity to network with others across the Department of Health, and that their experience aligns with their curriculum and professional goals. The internship may be done remotely or arrangements can be made to accommodate an intern at the Cannon Health Building. This opportunity is unpaid, and interns are expected to contribute at least 10 hours per week.
