Biomedical Sciences

These credit-bearing opportunities let you apply what you learn in your courses in real-world situations. As an approved major in biomedical sciences, you may design an internship at an on- or off-campus biomedical sciences facility whose primary focus is clinical, business, research or journalistic.

To formally apply for an internship, you will need to fill out the application with details on your time commitment and duties. You, your proposed site supervisor and the BMS program director will need to approve and sign your application.

To complete a successful internship, follow these steps.

• Design your internship: In consultation with the program director, choose a general setting or a specific site and make arrangements for it to take place.
• Submit a signed BMS 496 contract to the program director before the drop/add deadline.
• Schedule a midsemester site visit with the internship coordinator.
• Spend three hours at the site per week for each hour of course credit you will earn; a four-credit-hour internship requires 12 hours’ work per week.
• Keep a daily log of your work experiences.
• Keep an attendance roster that specifies the dates and times you work.
• Write a two to three page report reflecting on your experience.

You must submit your daily log, attendance roster and final report to the program director by the last day of classes.
