Applied Molecular Epidemiology (AME)

Email AME_Internship@augusta.edu to set up an in-person screening and consent visit. If you are a minor, ages 16-17, you will need to bring a parent/guardian to the visit. All applicants must be prepared to provide evidence of good academic standing, such as an unofficial transcript or online portal progress report with grades. Once an applicant has been screened and consented, instructions will be provided for completing the required trainings and forms. 

The current schedule (2026) will take place from 9:00am to 1:00pm, Monday through Friday, 20 hours per week. Attendance is mandatory unless otherwise excused and applicants are expected to attend at least 80% of the program.

• You may schedule an appointment at Student Health Services at AU or online at a pharmacy like CVS Minute Clinic to get a TB test. It is covered by most insurance and requires two in-person visits 2-3 days apart. Send an email to your family physician’s office (or the physician you have seen most recently) with your minors health questionnaire and TB test results attached for them to sign and email back to you.
• Medical offices are often busy in winter but most are used to completing these requests for sports physicals or travel clearances. We can make allowances for document submissions after the January 31st deadline if needed, please let us know by email.

• Interns are paid weekly by ClinCard and will be required to complete a W-9 to issue payments.
