It's usually impossible. Michigan won't license you as an intern until you've started pharmacy school.
Try explaining your situation and see what happens. Maybe they have a different definition of "intern". The only reason that I know about MI and interns is because I did my undergrad there and couldn't get an internship even after I was accepted to pharmacy school. I needed to be "enrolled". Good luck!
FWIW:
ND: You have to have started Pharm School (You fill out your intern license app during orientation)
MN: You cannot register as an intern until you have completed your first year.
On the bright side-at least the person wants to meet with you. I applied to be a PharmTech in ND while doing undergrad, since that's what I did the previous summer in MN, and was PTCB certified to boot. The owner still interviewed me, and we had a nice chat. Then she told me that all Techs in ND have to go to a 2-year tech school, and thus-I couldn't have the job. But from that chat, I made a contact. A contact whose husband sits on the ND Board of Pharmacy. I guess it wasn't a waste of time...
hee hee- "networking" strikes again!
