What Should I Expect? Interns spend the first few weeks in classrooms learning the requirements to begin their first rotations inside the hospitals. During the rotations, interns spend the first hour of each day in classrooms gaining valuable knowledge and learning employment skills to be successful candidates for competitive employment. Intern Rotations Interns will complete three rotations within the hospitals in areas where their skills and abilities will be used to increase employability. Each rotation lasts 11 weeks. Prior to a rotation, interns participate in interviews with the department managers and/or clinical directors to provide real-life interviewing experience.
