Internships & Clinical Experiences

Bronson offers a variety of placements for students to include nursing, dietary, radiography, pharmacy, social work, respiratory care, mid-level providers, business, health information management, information systems, communications, purchasing, environmental safety, and many other areas.

Internships and clinical placements are experiences that are a part of a student’s educational requirements or expectations. Some schools may also call these experiential learning opportunities, practicums or externships. As these are school-sponsored student experiences, placements are coordinated between school placement coordinators, faculty or advisors and Bronson staff within a student’s area of interest.

Placements are arranged after a contract is completed with the students’ school. Students may come with a clinical group or as a single placement with precepted learning.

  • Nursing student placements are coordinated through our SW MI Nursing Placement Consortium.
  • Mid-level Practitioner students can arrange placements with practitioners, then apply here to confirm placement.
  • All other unpaid student placements, interns, clinical rotations and job shadows should apply here.

  • Medical students and/or physician residents: Bronson is affiliated with Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine (WMed). We support visiting learning opportunities for medical students or resident physicians that meet WMed visiting student or visiting resident criteria. Applicants from US LCME or AOA accredited medical schools must apply through Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO). Unfortunately, we are not able to offer rotations, observerships, or shadowing for medical students, residents, or attending physicians outside of this construct. If you are a medical student, resident or seeking a residency should contact https://www.med.wmich.edu/education
