How does being multilingual help an applicant? Is speaking another language a requirement to be offered an internship?
This really depends on the organization hosting the intern but, as a general rule, speaking multiple languages is not required. Many of our sites work in communities where knowing a specific language is important in being able to work with their patients and stakeholders. In these cases, they request students who can communicate in a language in addition to English. If you can speak and/or write in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, you should mention this in the application.
