Health Sciences Library Internships

As part of its ongoing implementation of Platform for Change, MLA Chapter Council has attempted to identify library school internships available in health sciences libraries within the chapters. This effort is a preliminary action to continue to strengthen the links between chapters and graduate library schools within each chapter to improve the professional development opportunities for its members.

The information presented in the table below is subject to change. Students are strongly encouraged to make direct contact with the organization sponsoring the internship program of interest.

A number of resources are available to assist students in finding internships. One listing is the University of Michigan's List of Internships.
