Two Internship Experiences to offer students for 2017

The Pre-Health Professions Advising Center is pleased to announce that we have two internship experiences to offer students for 2017, the Med Mentor Internship and the Patient Experience Internship. 

These are different types of internships intended for students at different stages of preparing for application to health professional programs, so please review the descriptions below (and online via links provided) and apply for the ONE that will be best for you:

MED MENTOR INTERNSHIP (16 Students)

Designed for students who intend to apply to Medical School (MD/DO) for the 2018 Cycle, so is only available to Juniors, Seniors and post-baccalaureate students.  In its 10^th year, this internship involves a learning component, weekly class meetings and also shadowing opportunities with physicians. Look here for more information: http://clas.arizona.edu/event/pre-health-professions/med-mentor-internship-2017

PATIENT EXPERIENCE (PX) INTERNSHIP (25 Students)

Open to students in any career path although because of the total hour commitment, particularly helpful for students planning to become PA’s.  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, 2017 and Fall, 2017 (not summer) and a total of 270 patient contact hours.  IF you will graduate in May or August of 2017, please do not apply for this internship.  Please note that we will offer a summer version of this class (3 units, 135 hours) in summer, 2017.  Look here for more information about the PX internship: http://clas.arizona.edu/event/pre-health-profession/patient-experience-intern-program-2017-application

Part time female Caregiver needed

I am a quadriplegic and professor at the U of A. This is a great job for pre-med or nursing students since you get lots of hands on clinical experience in a relaxed environment. I must admit I write several letters of recommendation a year for my gals going on to med school, nursing school, PA school and they get in.  There are four hour shifts in the morning (8am-12pm) and three hours shifts in the evening (5:30-8:30) available. Some caregiving experience recommended, although I do intensive training for my needs. Must have a car. I am flexible and will work with your schedule. Near Speedway and Alvernon. Please call 520-419-5924.  Do not send a text message.

SHAC

APPLICATION FOR FALL 2016 MEMBERSHIP

PACKET

We accept students from all majors and do not discriminate based on culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, politics, religion, disability or ethnicity.

                  

Dear Applicant,

The University of Arizona Student Health Advocacy Committee (SHAC) is an ASUA and Campus Health supported, policy-and program-driven organization that serves to advocate preventative health issues on campus. The UA Student Health Advocacy Committee serves as a liaison between Campus Health and the student body while working closely together with all health-related organizations and institutions on campus and in our community, such as the Arizona Cancer Center, the Sarver Heart Center, and the College of Public Health. The following application will allow you to show us your motivation and capability to be a member of SHAC.

The application process is competitive; we are looking for members who will contribute to the mission of SHAC to advocate preventative health initiatives. We are looking for candidates that offer various skills and interests including, but not limited to: marketing, fundraising, community outreach, organization, initiative, confidence and leadership, those who have a knack for policy, administration and just have an intense passion to help others.

During the year, all members will be asked to work on the larger projects such as implementing the UA Campus-wide Tobacco-free Policy, Influenza Vaccinations, “Cooking on Campus” classes, giving presentations at local public schools, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Programming, sun safety and sexual health initiatives, and the 11th annual 5K Run/Walk in the Spring. Members will also choose several smaller projects to work on throughout the year, including running our subcommittees and representing the student population in campus-wide decisions in both the Well-U Committee and the Health and Recreation Fee Planning Committee. SHAC’s programs cover a broad range of health promotion topics that maintain awareness for students, faculty, and our community, which is why SHAC holds events in conjunction with other campus groups in addition to our own. We will also hold fundraisers and socials that will help SHAC continue as a cohesive and powerful health advocacy group on campus. Because of our wide range of events and activities, SHAC is a great way for a student of any major, background, or interest to become involved in the health of our campus and community.

Additionally, our members benefit from personal interaction and connections at UA Campus Health, including interaction with doctors, pharmacists and nurses. Our members also benefit from opportunities to shadow at Campus Health and to participate in their important programming. Our members, depending on the programs they are working on, will also be working with members of prestigious institutions such as the College of Public Health, Sarver Heart Center, and the Arizona Cancer Center. Other membership benefits include networking opportunities, free CPR and First-Aid training, as well as Kaplan Test Prep discounts.

Meetings are held every week at the Student Health Advocacy Committee Office Area in ASUA. All members are required to attend these weekly meetings held every Wednesday from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm; applicants MUST be free at this time.

We hope that you are as excited as we are about this coming year, to make a profound and positive impact on our community. The complete application (resume, schedule, and this document) is
