Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Participants will perform a variety of functions with the primary goals of helping patients and assisting ED staff. Activities will include speaking with patients and hearing their stories, clarifying their needs, improving communication, and being helpful in ways that improve the patient experience in the ED. Interns will be viewed as members of the healthcare team and will gain exposure to how a busy urban ED operates. In addition to communicating the needs of the patient to the ED physician and nursing staff, interns will assist with other basic but essential patient-oriented tasks. They will strive to create a rapport with patients and serve the indispensable role of helping and comforting patients and their families during their time in the ED and assuaging some of their anxieties about being in a hospital.
For those who are interested, there may be an opportunity to participate in ongoing Emergency Department research projects. Such individuals will need to undertake an additional mandatory training module.
