Internships

As a member of the AMA you are responsible for participating in either a year round or summer program tied to a health career or the health industry below is a list of possible opportunities and corresponding links. If you find one you would like to share please foward to me ASAP so that it can be added. Remember that you can also talk to your doctor, dentist, vet, pharmacist etc... about job shadowing as well. **2013 Summer Pre-Medicine / Health Fellowship Application:**  Please open the document below and save it using your first and last name. At the bottom of the page insert a page break and write a **1 page personal statement / essay stating why they want to participate. The students should include their name, phone #, email address and grade level on the upper corner of the essay. Email the document to me at mbw4291@lausd.net **

Please note that all of you should have a current TB test and that you should be fingerprinted. Here is a link to a Live Scan location in Carson [] and then a link to the options and cost []. All that is usually required is the live scan so $25. This will help you not only for internships but also for future jobs and will be a nice addition to your portfolio.
