### Internship and Volunteer Placement The internship and volunteer placement with the Autism Program at Boston Medical Center provides undergraduate and graduate level students the opportunity to participate in a rich applied hospital based placement supporting children and families. The program relies heavily on the support, creativity, and drive of student interns and volunteers in various capacities based on the program and individual student’s needs. The student intern or volunteer works with BMC Autism Program staff in executing many aspects and components of our work, as identified in the project descriptions below. Interns and volunteers also have the opportunity to observe diagnostic and follow-up clinic appointments with Developmental and Behavioral Pediatric clinicians, as well as participate in a plethora of training opportunities.

Once applications are reviewed, chosen candidates will be invited to participate in an individual or group interview as an opportunity to share relevant experience and skills, as well as ask questions. Anywhere from 3-10 interns/volunteers are on-boarded each placement cycle. **Is the internship placement paid?** No, unfortunately, our internships are unpaid and we are unable to provide a housing or transportation stipend. **Is prior direct experience working with someone with autism required?** While we always love to hear about any personal or professional experiences you have working with individuals with ASD, this is not a requirement. **Will there be opportunities to shadow or observe medical appointments for patients?** We try to build in at least one clinical shadowing opportunity throughout your time with our program, though depending on the projects and responsibilities you have throughout your placement there may be other occasions to observe in clinic. **Will there be opportunities to work directly with individuals with ASD and their families?** Our internship placements are rich and dynamic, such that each intern’s experience is unique to their interest and the skills they bring forth to the program. There are often tasks and projects that provide interns the opportunity to interact directly with families. Please note, however, that our program does not provide direct therapeutic services to individuals. **Am I expected to be on campus? Do you offer remote opportunities?** We currently offer fully in-person, fully remote, and hybrid internships. We will work to ensure that all internships, regardless of whether you are in-person or remote, will provide similarly robust experiences. However, please note that some opportunities will only be available to those who join us at least partially in-person (e.g. in-person clinic observation opportunities). **Do I need to be enrolled in an academic program to participate in an intern/volunteer opportunity?** You do not need to be enrolled in a college or university program to participate in a placement with our program. **How many hours am I expected to dedicate to this internship/volunteer placement?** This varies. Depending on the duration and nature of the placement, interns may dedicate more hours than others, typically, ranging from 4-15 hours per week. **What will my day-to-day as an intern look like?** This varies greatly depending on the project(s) that you are working on. For examples of intern projects and activities, please check out the Project Groups Description tab below. **Who will be my supervisor during my placement? What does the supervision structure look like?** Each intern is typically overseen by one or two staff members who serve as their primary supervisor(s) for the duration of their placement. In some cases, interns work with multiple staff supervisors across the team. The supervisor(s) is assigned based on an interns interest/experience and project areas assigned. In most cases, interns will receive weekly supervision to discuss project goals and provide feedback. ## Project Groups Description #### General Programmatic Operations This project groups works under the director and associate director to assist in identifying and writing grants, solicit community partnerships, liaise with stakeholders and support projects not otherwise specified. #### Autism Friendly Initiative This project group focuses on scaling up autism friendly interventions, collecting data on intervention effectiveness, tailor trainings, conduct autism support checklist screeners, disseminate sensory friendly toolkits, and other efforts to evolve and expand the autism friendly hospital initiative. #### Resource/Family Support This project groups works under our autism resource specialists to support family support efforts including identifying resources and programming for families in their local community, processing referrals for outside therapeutic services, developing tailored social stories and visuals, engaging with families over the phone to identify needs, creating new written resources, contributing to our newsletter content, managing social media efforts, and supporting the work of staff in empowering families to follow through on action steps needed. #### Research This project group works under our research coordinator who conducts research efforts within the Autism Program.
