Location and Work Model

Clinical Internship opportunities are available in select geographic regions throughout the United States. Because interns support hospital and clinical activities within a designated territory, candidates must reside within their assigned region and remain local throughout both the summer internship and academic year. Candidate location will be considered during the interview and placement process.

This internship combines remote work with field-based clinical experiences within an assigned territory. Interns may participate in hospital procedures, clinical education, and other in-person customer engagements within their assigned territory. Therefore, living within the assigned region is a requirement of the program. Interns are expected to work full-time during the summer and continue part-time during the academic year.
