Internship Resources
Welcome to the School of Health Sciences internship web page. Here you will find links to internship objectives along with internship sites to contact for your internship.
To obtain an internship you should first determine what kind of internship you are interested in. For example are your interests in cardiac rehabilitation, wellness, fitness centers, or corporate fitness? You should then determine where you want to do your internship, at home, during the semester at UE or during the semester at some distant site.
