"The value of my two externships can't really be overstated. I thought that I wanted to go into hospital regulatory compliance; now I know that I want to go into hospital regulatory compliance. My externships at Methodist Hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center let me experience what the day-to-day work in that specialty is really like - something you simply cannot learn in the classroom. And there's no better way to develop your network. The attorney who interviewed me at MD Anderson knew my supervisor from Methodist, and I found out that one of my professors who works at a prestigious firm is good friends with my supervisors at MD Anderson!"

Field Placement Supervisors’ Evaluations of Students
The student's supervising attorney at the field placement is expected to submit two formal written evaluations, once at the midterm point in the internship/externship and again at the conclusion. These evaluations should detail the work the student has done and the supervisor’s evaluation of the student's performance during the time period covered. The evaluations should be submitted via the forms linked below.
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure these evaluations are submitted.
