Quality and Regulatory Internship at Teal Health in San Francisco, CA

QUALITY AND REGULATORY INTERNSHIP Location: San Francisco Location: San Francisco / Remote Employment Type: Part-Time Internship Department: Quality and Regulatory Affairs Reports to: Senior Manager, Quality and Regulatory Compliance ABOUT TEAL HEALTH: Teal Health is on a mission to provide women with the tools, access, and resources they need to make their own, informed decisions regarding their health—starting with cervical cancer screenings. We’ve created the first FDA authorized at-home cervical cancer screening. We’re replacing the in-office pap smear with a cervical cancer screening that is comfortable, convenient, and designed for women. Teal Health’s solution includes a patented Teal Wand collection device and a modern telehealth platform to make it easy for women to speak with a doctor, screen at home and understand their results. OUR VALUES: We boldly champion the future women deserve. And we do this through our values, which are to elevate women, expect exceptional, and learning, every day. The Teal team lives our values and uses them to guide our decisions when building Teal.   WHY WE ARE HIRING FOR THIS ROLE: The Quality and Regulatory Intern will support Teal Health’s Quality and Regulatory Compliance function with structured, supervised project work related to eQMS migration, regulatory research, and regulated website content review.
