Deadline is June 15 to apply for stipend up to $20,000
LANSING, Mich. – As part of its continuing efforts to support the expansion of access to opioid treatment and recovery, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is offering the Michigan Opioid Treatment Access Internship Stipend Program to Michigan students who are completing unpaid internships.
The Michigan Opioid Treatment Access Internship Stipend Program aims to increase the number of qualified substance use disorder (SUD) professionals by providing stipends to eligible students who are participating in a degree program that will lead to a career in providing opioid treatment services.
“Michigan is actively working to increase the number of SUD treatment providers through workforce investments and recruitment initiatives, like the Michigan Opioid Treatment Access Internship Stipend Program,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive and co-chair of the Opioids Task Force. “Ensuring residents have access to treatment when they are ready is a key element of our plan to address substance use disorder and reduce overdoses and deaths in Michigan.”
Students pursuing degrees for any of the following health professions are eligible: bachelor’s or master’s social worker, professional counselor, marriage and family therapist, nurse practitioner and physician assistant. Internships must be unpaid. Students can receive a stipend of up to $20,000 depending on the number of hours required by the internship. Stipend recipients must be committed to providing SUD services to Michigan residents after graduating.
MDHHS has allocated $3.5 million for the program, which could benefit up to 350 students. The stipend is funded through the Michigan Opioid Healing and Recovery Fund. Michigan is slated to receive more than $1.8 billion from national opioid settlements by 2040, with half being distributed to the State of Michigan and the other half being distributed directly to county, city and township governments across the state.
Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited program and sign a letter of intent to provide SUD services to Michigan residents after graduation. Participants must also take part in program surveys and engage in program evaluation activities.
Applicants must complete an online application form by Monday, June 15, and submit the necessary supporting documentation. Applicants will receive an email notification of their acceptance status within seven weeks of the application deadline.
For more information and to apply, visit the Michigan Opioid Treatment Access Internship Stipend Program website or email MIOTA-ISP@mphi.org.
