They must contact the pharmacist of the private pharmacy where they wish to intern to arrange the pharmacy themselves. Internship II will be 20 working days.

*For students wishing to complete Internship II in a private hospital within or outside the Kocaeli province:
Students must contact the private hospitals where they wish to intern and submit their internship applications independently. Saturdays are not working days in hospitals, therefore they are not included in the internship. (The periods for internships in hospital pharmacies are specified below.)
