PATIENT EXPERIENCE (PX) INTERNSHIP (up to 40 Students)

Open to students in any health career path although because of the total hour commitment, particularly helpful for students planning to become PA’s (Physician Assistants).  This is a great opportunity to become familiar with the hospital environment and interacting primarily with patients, but also with the providers in the unit.  Requires a two-semester commitment:  Spring 2018 and Fall 2018 (not summer) and a total of 240 patient contact hours.  IF you will graduate in May or August of 2018, please do not apply for this internship.  Please note that we will offer a summer version of this class (2 units, 90 hours) in summer 2018.  Look here for more information about the PX internship 2018 and to find the application:

Inflammation affects all of us as we age. Painful joints in arthritis, artery-clogging plaques that can cause heart disease, damaged tissues that can become cancerous—excessive, chronic inflammation underlies each of them. This has led to widespread interest in dietary strategies, lifestyle choices and supplements that may reduce inflammation.

A free presentation, “Fighting Fire With Food: An Expert's Inside Look at Nutrition and Inflammation...What Does the Science Say?,” will be held Wednesday, Sept. 6, 6-7:15 p.m., at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson, DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson.

Speaker Ann Skulas-Ray, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Arizona College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, will discuss inflammation, how it is measured and where research is headed. An expert in the field, Dr. Skulas-Ray will offer evidence-based advice on nutrition as a tool to curb excessive inflammation, while covering the facts, fads and fiction that surround this impactful topic. She also will discuss her current research on fish oil and sort through the facts and hype surrounding this popular “miracle supplement.”

At the conclusion of her lecture, Dr. Skulas-Ray will be joined by Donato Romagnolo, MSc, PhD, UA professor of nutritional and cancer biology, for an epilogue on “The Mediterranean Diet and its Impact on Inflammation.”

Both professors will host the question-and-answer session.
