Students requesting internships at Upstate Medical University are responsible for directly contacting the department where they would like to intern. 

Department Responsibility Related to Internships

The department hosting an intern will need to verify with the Contracts Office (464-4680), that an affiliation agreement between the student's school and SUNY Upstate Medical University exists. Once this is confirmed, the below forms and education will need to be completed by the intern.

Required Forms

  • Risk Release Form PDF document Read, sign, and date. If under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must sign this form.
  • Confidentiality Agreement PDF document
  • HIPAA Privacy Rule Education PDF document and Completion Certificate PDF document
  • ID Badge: All Self-Serve non-employee badge requests will be handled by Employee Health Service ensuring those requiring health clearance are properly cleared.  Once a request for a non-employee badge is submitted via Self Serve the manager hosting the intern will be instructed via e-mail to have the new intern report to either Employee Health Service for clearance or to Payroll for badging.  This new enhancement will help ensure Upstate's compliance with Department of Health regulations.  For information, call Sandra Delaney in Payroll Services at 4-4840.
