What are the Benefits of the 180 Hour Internship Program?
At ACI Medical & Dental School, students are required to complete a 180-hour internship as part of their chosen primary program. The internship is a critical component of the program, and will help prepare the student for a career in the medical or dental field.
The internship program:

- Validates the student’s skills and builds his/her resume with industry experience.
- Can provide the student with a recommendation for employment.
Please note that our evening programs and secondary programs require a 100-hour internship.
