Job description

Why Mayo Clinic

Mayo Clinic is top-ranked in more specialties than any other care provider according to U.S. News & World Report. As we work together to put the needs of the patient first, we are also dedicated to our employees, investing in competitive compensation and comprehensive benefit plans – to take care of you and your family, now and in the future. And with continuing education and advancement opportunities at every turn, you can build a long, successful career with Mayo Clinic.

Responsibilities

The primary purpose of the Undergraduate Internship is to provide an intern with relevant field experiences in their chosen field of study. One or more mentors will be assigned to the intern to provide instruction, guidance and to assess performance. The intern is responsible for observing the functions and processes of the assigned work unit. In addition, the intern may be given selected work assignments to reinforce the learning experience, to assess the performance levels and to provide benefit to the work unit. The intern will be responsible for completing all internship-related assignments and reports for both Mayo and the participating educational facility. The duration and timing of the internship will be arranged with the intern and the sponsoring educational facility. Placement in our internship program does not provide financial assistance with relocation, housing, or transportation. Interns must pass a pre-employment drug test and criminal background check.

Qualifications

The incumbent must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program from an accredited college or university and actively registered for coursework in the current or academic term. Proof of enrollment in classes (e.g., enrollment verification, class schedule, or official documentation from the institution) is required and will be verified prior to the start date.
The internship would occur after the student has taken most of the courses required by the degree program.

This internship is open to individuals who are authorized to work in the United States and can remain authorized throughout the internship without the need for Mayo Clinic sponsorship now or in the future, such as U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents, refugees, or asylees.
