Summer Health Internship Program (SHIP)
SHIP provides a six week summer placement opportunity for junior/senior high school, and freshmen/sophomore college students who have expressed an interest in the health field. Students are exposed to a variety of careers in the health fields as well as to health issues affecting their communities. SHIP students are encouraged to observe health professionals and inquire whenever possible about their career paths, education paths, job descriptions, and responsibilities. Students are placed three days per week for five hours a day, with mandatory didactic sessions once per week. These sessions encompass a full day and include lectures, field trips, and other health related activities.
Students who successfully complete the MSI AHEC SHIP will emerge with new found connections, job readiness skills and insight into the world of health care.
