"I think the internship at Bendigo UFS offers great variety," she said.
"Not only are you in an individual pharmacy but we have five pharmacy and they are all very different.
"Lots of opportunity for skills and scope of practice development."
Ms Randall said students who are given an internship will be developing a range of their skills while also learning how to work within the community.
"It's 100 percent vital (to learn how to work within the community)," she said.
"As a student, I was very lucky to have a great mentor.
"I had her for weekly meetings each week to ensure I was learning and I was developing.
"That I had the right support, I had the right equipment and tools to ensure that I could develop and having that I think is vital to development of becoming a great pharmacist."
Applications for the internships, due to start next year, close on August 20.
