UPMC Horizon encourages health professions’ education through the use of student internships. Applications will be approved under the following conditions:

• The course of study from an education institution requires an internship for a specific period of time.
• A student expresses a desire to serve an internship.

In order to provide system-wide coordination of theses internships, it is the responsibility of the Education Department to receive and process student internship applications.

Each student applying for clinical/technical affiliation with UPMC Horizon will be required to:

• Complete a student internship application and submit it to the Education Department at least 10 days before the first day of the experience
• Submit a criminal background check at the time of application for an internship (competed through your local police department or on the web at https://epatch.state.pa.us/Home.jsp) )
• Provide evidence of a recent two-step tuberculosis screen (PPD test) obtained from your personal physician/school records.

The Education Department staff will consult the appropriate department manager or physician if needed prior to the arrival of the student to define the internship experience. After approval, the student agrees to accept the internship and is supervised by a physician and/or Department Manager, dependent upon the type and nature of the experience.

Please return application, PPD test results and criminal background check to:
