Along with classroom projects and case studies, each undergraduate student will take on one semester long project.
Our faculty work one-on-one with students to identify individual, professional goals and interests. Students are then recommended to organizations within the community that support their goals and interests.
Projects are often sought in the student's place of employment that could lead to new employment opportunities. For those students not employed in a related job, the project experience often leads to employment opportunities. These projects encompass both traditional and non-traditional areas of the medical profession. They range from the medical records departments in acute care hospitals to software development companies. Corporate partners in the projects include these internships:
