Mayo Clinic’s Historical Unit and Archives Internship

Posted by J Barnes-Mitchell on

Mayo Clinic’s Historical Unit and Archives Internship program provides both undergraduate and graduate students opportunities to spend time at a world-renowned health care organization to perform historical research and archival tasks in preparation for future professional positions. This $1,500 paid internship aims to provide students with hands-on, practical experience to enhance students’ classroom knowledge. As an experiential immersive program, interns will develop and hone their practical skills through a broad range of opportunities, including:

  • Exposure to an official repository for historically valuable materials documenting the culture and development of Mayo Clinic in Florida through project-based work
  • Directly contribute to organizational projects under executive mentorship
  • Participate in strategic and operational priority initiatives
  • Explore career and professional development opportunities
  • Participate in lecture series which consists of a series of round-table discussions with senior leadership throughout the organization

Opportunities are available both remotely and in person. Typical business days are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Selected students will work with their mentors to determine a mutually agreeable schedule. Interns are required to commit to a minimum of 15 hours a week for the duration of the semester with minimal flexibility in the last two weeks, regardless of a student’s academic internship requirements.
