About the internship
Pitt Med Magazine is an award-winning, 24,000-circulation magazine published quarterly by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Our readers are alumni and physicians, scientists and community members, potential donors, deans and residency directors at the top medical research centers, other national leaders in medicine and people who are just curious about science and health. Our job is to tell the most interesting stories of the School of Medicine, to cut through medical jargon to the core of a scientific discovery, to dig for the personality of a top researcher.
As a Pitt Med intern, you will interview physicians, scientists and alumni. You will work with editors to shape your stories for publication. You also will participate in editorial and production planning meetings, write and schedule social media posts, and help with the details of the shaping of a magazine. In short, you will be a member of our staff.
