With the sudden spread of the coronavirus infection, the implementation of the internship curriculum around the world has faced serious challenges and has caused extensive changes in its implementation in educational institutions and partners of the internship program. Therefore, the present research aimed to determine the methods and strategies for implementing internships in higher education institutions in Iran and the world under the described conditions. The present study was based on a descriptive-analytical method with the comparative approach using the George Brody model. Moreover, the basis of the study was the analysis of resources obtained from Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, and Google Scholar search engine in the timespan of 2019-2022 based on the keywords “internship,” “intern,” “Corona virus (Covid-19),” and “Sars-Covid-2.” The search conducted finally led to the collection of 75 articles. After reviewing the collected data, duplicate and irrelevant articles were excluded; finally, 28 articles from 11 countries were analyzed. Educational institutions studied for the purpose of implementing internships under the COVID-19 pandemic conditions adopted some policies and strategies, such as "virtual internship," "remote internship," "digital internship," "corona school," "emergency remote internship," "substitution education policies," "blended internship," and "e-internships." According to the results, it can be concluded that the policies and strategies adopted by institutions of higher education in the world were on the basis of new Web-based communications technologies; therefore, higher education policymakers should provide the platform needed to change the approach from traditional education to electronic and hybrid methods in post-corona conditions.
