A child life specialist internship involves providing support for children dealing with illness, hospitalization, or a disability. If you work as an intern, your duties vary depending on the details of the internship program. As an intern, you assist child life specialists as they provide age-appropriate coping strategies and activities for ill children and those undergoing medical procedures. You may gain experience with different groups by working as part of a rotation of interns. Interns often help children participate in activities and play. Your responsibilities often include interacting with the parents and siblings of the patient.
