Unconfirmed. ICON plc publishes no sponsorship policy for its epic, so we cannot state a firm answer. ICON is a contract research organisation running clinical trials for pharmaceutical clients. Its EPIC internship is listed for the US, Mexico, India, Bulgaria, Poland, the UK and Spain. The internship runs ten weeks, is paid, and places interns in departments from project support to technology and corporate support. Interns attend sessions on the clinical research industry, the drug development process and the corporate structure of a global company, and the page says they learn from senior leaders.

No pay figure and no visa sponsorship statement is published for the UK.
