All HPFM students must complete a 400-hour, 9 credit internship (also called field experience) during their final semester. We have many approved sites on file and we are always open to adding a new site.

Criteria
HPFM Internship Coordinator
• The site must be able to provide the student with 400 hours of meaningful work over the course of the semester. Students are required to work 25 – 40 hours per week at the site.
• The site supervisor must have at least a bachelor’s degree and related certifications in his or her specific field.
• Student interns are required to complete a semester-long, major project for which they have primary responsibility at the site; the site needs to be able to offer this kind of opportunity to the student.
Dr. Francie Pagell is the HPFM internship coordinator. Please contact her with specific questions and/or to begin the process of planning your internship. You should begin planning your internship at least 2 semesters in advance. She will provide you with the HPFM Internship Handbook and guidance you need to move through this process.

Suggested Internship Sites
This is by no means an exhaustive list of all of the internship opportunities for students, and we are continuously updating the list. Rather, it is a list of approved sites at which HPFM students have had positive experiences or a new site that we believe would provide a good internship for a student.
