Internships

Completing an internship is an excellent way for students to explore their career interests. Students arrange internships in a wide range of health care fields and clinical settings depending upon their interests. These work experiences help connect classroom theory with practical application. Typical settings include hospital or clinic-based practice, private practice, public health areas and service-learning opportunities.
