Pre-Health & Internships Information – Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences
The UCF Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences has established agreements with a number of health care provider organizations and physician practitioners in the greater Orlando area to implement one-semester long clinical shadowing internship opportunities for UCF premedical students. These unique internship opportunities may also fulfill the criteria for “Outside of the Box” experiences, which are increasingly recognized as valuable components of a competitive professional school application.
Program Details and Evaluation
We will register selected students for the one credit hour MCB 4941 internship course for the participating semester. As part of the curriculum, the students’ service efforts and attendance record are evaluated at the end of the semester of service by the physicians they shadow or by pertinent administrators of the medical facility where their service took place. In addition to clinical hours, students are also required to attend orientation and a midterm meeting and to complete a midterm report and final report.
