Univ. of MD Medical Center Communications Internship Program

 

The University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) is a 757-bed teaching hospital in Baltimore, Md., that provides a full range of health services to people throughout Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region. It is a national and regional referral center for trauma, cancer care, cardiac care, neurocare, women’s and children’s health, and organ transplants. The medical center is the flagship hospital of the University of Maryland Medical System, a private, not-for-profit network of 12 academic, community and specialty hospitals throughout Maryland.

UMMC recognizes that disseminating information about its medical programs and services in innovative ways is key to serving its various audiences – from patients and visitors to employees.  To that end, UMMC has established the Communications Internship Program to offer hands-on learning opportunities for college students interested in editorial (communications and writing), graphic design, web development, and video and multimedia production (including animation).

The UMMC Communications Internship Program provides highly qualified college students (preferably juniors) the opportunity to participate in a dynamic communications department.  Interns can apply for one of four areas of focus and may be eligible to receive course credit (subject to the requirements of the student’s academic institution). Each internship is for a duration of one semester with 10-20 hours of work required per week at the UMMC offices in Baltimore. Extensions may be available to high-performing interns.
