Practicum & Internships

Bridgercare is proud to be a teaching institution. We offer internships and practicums to students enrolled in accredited institutions.

Due to concerns over patient privacy and HIPAA regulations, only medical practicum students are allowed to work directly with patients. If you are a current RN, NP or PA student in need of credit hours as part of your course work, please contact Elly Webster at ewebster@bridgercare.org to learn more about upcoming placement opportunities.
Please send an email to Elly Webster at ewebster@bridgercare.org with the following:
- Resume
- Total number of hours needed
- Total number of hours needed weekly/number of weeks
- Preferred dates for practicum
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Bridgercare’s ability to accommodate you will depend on staff capacity and timing.

Everyone is welcome to apply, but preference will be given to applicants in this order:
1. Applicants who need the internship credit in order to graduate.
2. Applicants who have previously been Peer Eders
3. Applicants who are using the internship to further their career
Regardless of if you fit one of these categories, we would love to hear from you!
We have three internship periods each year. Start and end dates are flexible based on applicant availability:
- Spring Internship: January-May
- Summer Internship: May/June-August
- Fall Internship: August-December

Yes, Bridgercare interns are considered temporary employees and are paid $15.00 per hour. Internships have set start and end dates.
This internship does not offer any direct medical experience, but we encourage people interested in medicine to apply as it is a great way to get a peek behind the curtain of clinical operations and learn more about community needs!
- The schedule is flexible and determined in coordination with your supervisor based on organizational needs and your availability. Hours may vary week to week. Interns work on a variety of projects, which may include attending tabling events, supporting clinic initiatives, writing blogs, running errands, and participating in weekly sex education trainings.
We expect interns to work 8-10 hours per week. We cannot accommodate schedules exceeding 20 hours per week.
We take two interns per semester and typically receive 6 or more applications per period. We welcome you to apply more than once! Strong candidates who are not selected for the current term may be considered for future opportunities.
