C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital is excited to announce its accredited Child Life Specialist Internship and Child & Family Life Fellowship programs. These initiatives are designed to provide aspiring child life specialists with hands-on experience in a supportive and educational environment.

The Child Life Specialist Internship offers participants the chance to work directly with children and families in a clinical setting, focusing on the emotional and psychological needs of pediatric patients.

Meanwhile, the Child & Family Life Fellowship aims to cultivate advanced skills in child life practice. This fellowship is ideal for those looking to deepen their expertise and contribute to the field through research and innovative programming.

Both programs emphasize the importance of compassionate care and the critical role child life specialists play in promoting positive healthcare experiences for children and their families. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply and take the first step toward a rewarding career in child life services.
