March 17  Application Deadline

April 15   Intern Notification of Placement Recommendation  
 

Placement recommendations are made by the Scoring/Selection Committee. 

Candidates recommended for placement are asked to contact the Site Representative     to arrange an on-site visit.

   
April 30 Deadline for Declining Placement  
 

Candidates are asked to give consideration to the commitments of an internship at

the time of application.  Because Intern Selection and Placement is a time-intensive

process, we ask that candidates unwilling or unable to make the necessary commitments

contact us within two weeks of Notification of Placement.

   
May 17 Site Visit Deadline
 

Because sites retain the right of final approval of placements, candidates are asked to have their Site Visit completed one week prior to Orientation.  In the event a site refuses placement, every effort will be made for placement at one of the other sites chosen by the candidate.  

   
May 22  Program Orientation  
 

A full-day event for MESRP Interns to review program guidelines and expectations.
