Senior Year Internships
Each Drake University Health Sciences student completes a Senior Internship Experience. Senior Internship Experiences allow each student to demonstrate the capacity to bring information, skills, and ideas to a workplace environment, culminating in a project and presentation. The internship may provide the opportunity to work in the following environments: clinical, pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology research and development, hospital and health services administration, rehabilitation and therapeutic services, and nonprofit organizations. In addition, several of our interns gain experience in the following settings dental, optometry, pathology, public health organizations, and long-term care.
