I recently went through the APPIC internship application process and wanted to help others, so I combined information from many different resources to create this guide, walking you through the entire process from start to finish.
This guide offers detailed information on the application process, how to write your cover letters and how to stand out.
INCLUDED WITH THIS GUIDE is a link to a folder with my spreadsheet for applying to internship sites, a tailored cover letter, interview questions to ask faculty, fellows, and interns, and sample notes for your letter of recommendation writers to help them craft stronger letters.
Feel free to reach out with any questions—I'm happy to help! My application materials were well received, and I secured interviews at 14 sites, including McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children's Hospital, and more. I studied over 15 previous students' materials to craft my internship documents, and now you can benefit from all my hard work.
You’ve got this! Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions. I love helping students—I just graduated in 2024, so the process is still fresh in my mind!
