Affiliated Internship
LHSC child life team will communicate with McMaster University each semester to offer internships. Interested students should apply for an internship through the Internship Coordinator for the McMaster Child Life MSc Program using the ACLP Common Application.
Unaffiliated Internship
Interested students should complete the ACLP Common Application prior to the ACLP application deadline. Students should indicate what internship semester they are applying for as well as their interest in being placed on a waiting list. Please note that unaffiliated internships are not offered on a regular basis.
