  • Interns are usually college or university students and they work in a temporary position in which the focus is on education. An internship can be either paid, unpaid or partially paid. Internships can vary from part-time to full-time and usually last 6-12 weeks or even longer. They are most common in the medical, science, business, engineering and technological fields.
  • It is a student receiving placement in a career, for example; a medical intern at a hospital goes around with doctors and listens to him/her diagnose patients and maybe test their knowledge, for one day, they too shall become doctors/surgeons.
