Class of 2019 Internships - How Do I find an Internship?
I Must Complete an Internship… How Can I Find One?
Internship Sources:
- Your family's contacts and family friend's contacts are usually the best sources for providing information on potential internship sites. Having family members reach out to their contacts is a great way to use networking to find an internship site. This source is often the easiest way to secure an internship because in most cases, family friends already know you and what kind of student you are.
- Another way to find internship site is to complete an Internet search using Google to find local companies of the type you would like to intern with. Once you find companies or organizations that you are interested in, you will need to contact a decision maker at that company/organization to see if they will host you as an intern.
- You can also use one of the following sites to find companies/organizations
www.bbb.org (search for companies in the Raleigh-Durham area)
www.raleighchamber.org (look at the business directory)
- If you still need help, schedule some time to sit down with Ms. Hulsey to discuss what you desire. She will help you to sort it all out and work on some contacts.
Once you find a potential company…
Option I: Dress up like you are going in for an interview and visit the business. You can explain who you are and that you are interested in completing an internship. Use the email script below to help prepare for what you will say.
Option II: You can send an email to a specific person at that company/organization, requesting an internship.
Note: Although Option I may sound more difficult, it is often more successful. It is much easier to say “No” to an email then it is to someone’s face. It also shows that you are taking the initiative to get yourself out there.

Wake Med ER Initiative (Juniors Only for Internships)
Information Session - To Be Announced
The students will cover 4p-9p Mon-Fri, that would average 10 students. Of course, they could use more on Sat and Sun if they are available.
As visitors enter the emergency department, they will be directed to the visitor desk.
The volunteer will greet the visitor and locate the appropriate patient using Epic.
After the patient is located, the volunteer will call the patient care area and make sure that it is ok to send someone back.
If so, the volunteer will then print a room sticker for the visitor to wear.
Finally, the volunteer will direct the visitor to the appropriate area.
At times, the visitor may be in the wrong area. You will then provide them with a map and simple directions to other areas of the hospital.
