Internship Program Purpose
The goal of the internship program is to introduce current high school juniors and seniors to career opportunities in health care. Selected students spend five weeks during the summer in a hospital environment, immersed in various hospital areas.
The Screening Committee awards six $500 paid internships for each summer. Internships are available in Music Therapy, Pediatric Physical Therapy, Child Life, Volunteer Services office, Orthopedic Patient Care Unit and Surgical Patient Care Units.
Selection Process
Interns are selected on the basis of a health career interest, participation in extra-curricular activities, and scholastic achievement. Recipients will be required to work a minimum of 20 hours/week for a five-week period during the summer. (Weeks, days, and hours offer some flexibility to meet the needs of both the hospital and intern.)
The 2013 Service League Summer Internship Program is now closed.
For the 2014 internship program, visit our website mid March 2014.
