- Memorandum of Agreement. The contract between Children’s Hospitals and Clinics must be reviewed and approved by your institution’s legal department or administrative offices before an interview can be conducted. We encourage you to submit this document for immediate review. If you are accepted into the internship program, the contract will need to be returned prior to your start date. You do not need to include the contract with your application materials. It is only required if you are accepted.
