Internships

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

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

All internships need to be accredited.

You can use the website, the internship book available in our resource room, or you can look on the web for internships. When deciding to apply for an internship you should:

1. Check that it is accredited by checking on the above 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.

Program Location

Students apply individually for the 12-15 month program of clinical training at the internship sites of their choice. Resources are available on campus to help the student in deciding which internships to apply for.
