Student Interns

Student internships enrich both the Clinic and our interns.

• AFC benefits from students with incredible skills and talents who speak multiple languages and bring enthusiasm and energy that support our patients and programs.
• Students benefit from hands-on, meaningful opportunities to learn and experience the delivery of community-based medical care.
• Student interns come from across the United States and are typically studying medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, public health, nursing, or other related fields in health care or community services.
• Students who are fulfilling internship requirements for their universities may work at AFC for 2 weeks, a month, a semester or even a year.
• Summer interns spend about 2 months with AFC and usually work 4 days per week.
• Volunteer interns should be able to provide 6-30 hours per week for 4-10 weeks.
• Medical and non-medical internships may be available, though most internships combine both administrative tasks and clinical support.

Summer internships are limited and usually highly sought after. Summer intern candidates are encouraged to apply early by submitting an application and scheduling an interview.
