Internships
The Research Medical Library at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston offers internships during the Spring and Summer semesters. Internships last up to 16 weeks, depending on the students' program. Students must be currently enrolled as students in an accredited university to apply. At this time, we can offer course credit for students at institutions where we have a formal education agreement.
Application and Internship Dates
| Semester | Application Window | Notification By | Internship Term |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | June 1 - August 1 | September 30 | January - May |
| Summer | October 1 – December 1 | January 30 | June - August |
Selection occurs well in advance of the internship start date to allow candidates sufficient time to complete institutional onboarding requirements.

Students will select an area of focus within Information Services to complete their internship project. Focus areas include reference, instruction, and searching.
