Healthcare Professions Internship Program
The internship at East West Medical Group offers hands-on experience for graduate and undergraduate students looking to fulfill academic internship credit requirements. Interns shadow our internal medicine, acupuncture, and chiropractic specialists across a wide variety of chronic conditions, with occasional lectures from our faculty on key medical concepts.
Most interns are Health Science, Biology, Kinesiology, or other health-related majors enrolled in an upper-division internship course and actively pursuing a healthcare career.
