During the final year of the Health Sciences major, students complete a required internship experience to gain firsthand experience in an area of interest. Internship experiences may be completed in selected health care work environments, e.g., public health departments, clinics, hospitals, not-for-profit organizations, and community health organizations. This course is a field-based, professional opportunity for students to apply the theories, models, knowledge, concepts, and strategies learned through their coursework in the Health Sciences. Students apply their classroom and laboratory learning in a health, allied health, or health care environment. This internship is an intensely supervised and supported experience as students are supervised by both college faculty and an onsite supervisor. There are three phases to the internship experience: orientation, observation, and performance. Students will complete 200 hours on site during the Fall or Spring semester.
