Student Internships

The Clinical Skills and Patient Simulation Center offers several student internships each year. Internships are generally unpaid, but will provide academic credit hours based on the policies of your major department. It is the applicant's responsibility to research available courses and requirements to make certain our internships will count for their major. Our interns have the opportunity to work in a professional medical education environment on a wide array of projects, including: interdisciplinary health professional education, clinical assessment, clinical encounters, patient safety, and patient simulation.

Interns commit for both fall and spring semesters or for both summer sessions, depending on the project. We have a flexible working schedule, which is ideal for students' class and exam schedules. Departments in the undergraduate college that have supported our internships in the past for academic credit include: Biology, Career Services, and Public Health. Check with your department to determine if they have courses designed to allow internship credit.

Applications for our internships can be requested by emailing Dawn Duncan at deduncan@med.unc.edu.
