As a new graduate (bachelor's in physics), can I apply for internships as a way to get my foot in the door?

I'm trying to find research (possibly contracting) positions in physics, laser science, data science, or imaging science. Looking at indeed, the only entry level positions I find are for new PhDs. Could internships be a good route to getting a foot in the door for full time positions?...

General dentists seem to see a wide variety of cases, whereas specialists focus only on certain types of situations. In what ways do specialties, such as periodontics and endodontics, remain exciting if many of the patients present similar problems?
