Internships

We recommend that you do volunteer work at hospitals during summers. This will help you ensure that this is a field you want to pursue and will make you more competitive for internships.

After successfully completing the 90 credit program at the Barry campus, you may apply for a 12-15 month period of academic and clinical training in an approved School of Medical Technology. The university will grant 30 semesters hours of credit for this internship program. You will choose your own internship -- we have resource materials and assistance here on campus to assist in this process.

All internships must be accredited.

We keep an internship book in our resource room, or you can do a search on the Web. When deciding to apply for an internship you should:

1. Check that it is accredited by checking on the website, calling them, or writing them. Accreditation is a must; otherwise you will not be eligible to apply for a license (which you need to practice).
2. Check out their requirements (i.e. GPA, additional coursework, length of program, deadline for application, etc.).
3. Bring the information to the Director of Internships and your advisor. This should be done well before the deadline (at least a month) since a legal agreement may need to be drafted with the internship of your choice.
