Internship

All students complete a practicum internship as part of their degree requirements. The internship typically takes one semester for M.S. students and one year for M.D./M.S. students, and is conducted in parallel with other coursework. Upon completion, the internship is expected to result in a peer-reviewed publication or a poster, allowing students to graduate with publication experience as well as professional connections.
