Can I take summer school classes during the internship? Can I work a part-time job during my internship?

Taking summer school classes, studying for standardized tests (such as MCAT or GRE), or assuming any other paid or voluntary positions during the internship period are not permitted. Many students have found that interning full-time and participating in HCC’s comprehensive workshop programming for ten weeks has been more challenging than they anticipated. HCC requires that your involvement in our program be the main focus during the summer. You must inform us if you have needs or plans for this summer in your application and in the initial interview if you are selected.

If you have other commitments, you may consider our Community Health Leaders Program, which is a part-time program.
