Internships and clinical practice are key to each student's academic journey, providing them with essential learning opportunities that prepare them for professional roles in the health and public sectors. These experiences enhance classroom knowledge through practical applications, helping students develop critical competencies specific to their fields. Students should explore internship options through their academic department or the MCLA Career Center. Each program has specific clinical placement requirements, including background checks, immunizations, and drug testing. It’s essential for students to review their program guidelines and consult with academic advisers to complete all necessary documentation.
