The internship component of the program provides the student with an opportunity for immersed participation in the professional work environment associated with a laboratory practicing methods in forensic toxicology or analytical genetics. Through hands-on experience in a real work site the student applies the formal classroom knowledge to the real work setting. The work/learning arrangement is supervised by a program faculty member plus the designated representative of the internship site, which will be a private industry, governmental, hospital or other appropriate setting providing real world training in practices and procedures of forensic toxicology or analytical genetics.
