In North America, an intern is one who works in a temporary position with an emphasis on education rather than merely employment, making it similar in some respects to an apprenticeship. Interns are usually college or university students or other young adults and can also be adults later in life seeing skills for a new career.

An internship may be either paid or unpaid (in the form of stipend), with paid internships being most common in the medical, science, engineering, and technology fields. Internship positions are available from businesses, government departments, nonprofit groups and organizations.

Internships offer benefits that may include instruction and mentorship; work experience; networking opportunities; and a verbal or written letter of reference. Ideally, the employer has thought carefully about these benefits and described them in the posting. It is also up to the applicant to research or ask about the details of the situation.

To find a suitable match, the hiring process is just as important as with permanent work. The job description should clearly describe the position, background information, expectations, benefits, and how to apply. It should either ask for a cover letter and resume, or provide an application form. The interview and reference check are equally important. To avoid surprises for either party, it is important to maintain clear and honest communication of both the employer's needs and expectations -- and the potential intern's.

In the context of medical education, an intern is a person who has finished medical school and passed Step 1 of the USMLE. An intern in the medical field has an MD but does not have a full license to practice medicine in the US. The internship lasts one year and usually begins in July. Internships can be in the fields of pediatrics, general medicine, and surgery. After a physician has completed an internship, and steps 2 and 3 of the USMLE, he or she can practice general medicine. However, the majority of physicians complete a medical residency over 2-7 years depending on the specialty.

Cute Secluded COTTAGE, Fully Furnished, behind Owner-Occupied House (oakland east) $1600 1bd

This is a quiet, secluded 1-bedroom cottage in the backyard of three-unit owner-occupied Victorian house. Walking distance to Highland Hospital, short drive/bus ride or reasonable bike to Mills College. Perfect for a visiting intern, nurse or lecturer. The cottage is 1920’s Craftsman, lots of charm, hardwood floors, updated eat-in kitchen, bath, new paint, etc. All utilities and DSL internet are included. Cable-ready. Furnishings are all-inclusive, nice and comfortable, no junk to live with or sleep on: 240 tc sheets, down comforter, plushy towels, TV/DVD/VCR, etc. Lots of nice new stuff since it’s recently furnished. All you need to move in is your clothes. It also has French doors to a nice little private side deck. Includes off-street parking. Front door is behind a private gate. I work from home about 90% of the time, so I’m also around to keep an eye on things. I have had two tenants so far who have rented from out of state, and both said they were extremely pleased with the really cute cottage when they arrived, and found it very comfortable & convenient. Cat or small/well-mannered dog okay. Small fenced dog run. About the neighborhood: 13th Ave is the Glenwood area above 580 fwy, this is a few blocks below 580. So it’s very handy to the freeway. Also quite close to the new Trader Joe’s on Lakeshore and the Farmer’s Market etc.; I walk it in about 25 min. Bus service is good, Bart is a little too far to walk but you can bike it easily. There's a regular nearby bus that goes to Bart too. It’s a diverse neighborhood, ‘transitional’ - still a few odd-color houses and chain-link fences, a mix of housing types, it definitely doesn’t look like the suburbs. But I live here myself, I feel safe, and the cottage and parking are really secluded at the back. Do feel free to come by and check it out. $1600/mo for 6+ months, $1700/mo for 3-5 months. Shorter leases negotiable.
