Why do Internship at NIPMR?

If you are a high school student:

As a high school student, you are not there to earn money, but rather to earn valuable knowledge and experience.
Internships are a great way for students to acquaint themselves with the field they may be interested in.
Internships help students master professional soft skills such as communication, punctuality and time management no matter what profession they choose later.

If you are a graduate in the field:

1. The hands-on work experience you receive as an intern is invaluable and cannot be obtained in a classroom setting, making this one of the most important benefits of internships.
2. t’s an opportunity to apply what you have learned in a safe environment where mistakes are expected – rather than learn the hard way in your first job out of college.
3. Another benefit is that the work experience in the form of an internship at reputed institutes like NIPMR, stands out to other potential employers.
4. The professionals you encounter during an internship can be your future colleagues or the connection to your first job.
5. NIPMR can provide the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to succeed in today’s demanding workforce.

An internship can be a real confidence builder for a student or a graduate. Completing internship in the real world can inspire one to work harder at school/college and be more willing to take on challenges or be outside of his/her comfort zone.

We regularly have interns in Department of Audiology and Speech Language pathology, Developmental Therapy unit, Dept. of Physiotherapy, Dept of Social work and at the CP and ASD school.

We invite interns at high school level or graduate level in any department of choice.

Here are some highlights of those who have completed internship at NIPMR in the past.

Department Developmental Pediatrics: One student from University of California, Davis (Ms. Rose Mary Chellakudam) along with 2 high school students (Satvik Vinod and Ruth Hannah Joseph) did one month of internship at Dept of Developmental pediatrics in August 2019 and did a survey and a report on Home training of children with special needs.
