Internships
Want to help?
If you want a little more commitment in our office, sign up for an internship! At a minimum, these internships are for one full quarter, and can vary in the amount of hours required. Internships are more project driven, and our hope is that you will have some projects or interests in mind, and we can work with you to be creative and make something happen!
If you are looking to receive credit for your internship, we can work with your professor/advisor and we will make sure that you complete all requirements needed. We frequently work with the Community Health program and help students complete their 240 hour requirement.
