Internships:

AMSA's Health Policy Internships
AMSA's Health Policy Internships are a great opportunity for students interested in persuing a carreer in medicine or public health to build leadership skills through political advocacy and research while challenging power over racial and economic challenges that leave most of the world (and many Americans) without access to healthcare. Internships for March through Early June are 4-12 weeks in length with flexible dates. Academic credit for electives often can be arranged with your home institution.

Syracuse Research Corporation
SRC's philosophy is to offer "hands-on" challenging assignments to top engineering students, providing a chance to excel in specific areas of interest. SRC also offers a friendly work environment that helps increase student's skills with support and mentoring from experienced engineers

Center for Career Services (CCS) at Syracuse University maintains listings of internships throughout the nation: students.syr.edu/careerservices/undergrad/internships

Internships - USA: http://www.internships-usa.com/
This site provides summaries and links to internships in many fields including sports, corporate America, communications, human services, social change/human rights, politics, the environment, and more. At this site, click on the link that reads "The Internship Series Online" and when asked for login information, use intern04 for the user name and job for the password.

An excellent resource for helping students to prepare for or reflect on experiences involving direct patient contact is the book: Health Professional and Patient Interaction, by Ruth B. Purtilo and Amy Haddad. For more books for students interested in the health professions visit Recommended Reading.
