FMI has no formal program, but it has had a few internships over the years. All are unpaid. The organization is interested, there are opportunities for experiences, the organization has many employees who would be excellent teachers. If interested, become familiar with the organization through its website, have ideas about what an internship might be composed of, call Dr. Hinson to make contact.
