Job Description

MedicalDaily.com is seeking an editorial intern to work with our news staff during the fall semester, 2013. The specific dates will be flexible in order to accommodate your class schedule.

You’ll work under the close supervision of the editorial director of the site, and will have the opportunity to participate in department meetings and events when appropriate.
