title: Internship logistics: successfully navigating the internship process.
abstract: This article, the second in the series, is designed to help medical practices understand how the internship process works. This article helps practice managers perform a needs analysis in order to determine if a student intern is appropriate, provides tools to help structure the internships and forms to evaluate the process, and identifies ways for the practice to avoid legal pitfalls when "employing" interns.
