What are the responsibilities and job description for the Student Shadow/Intern position at Astera Health?
We recognize that students are the future of heath care, and it's our goal to provide a valuable, enriching experience to those we host. Whether you've already begun your journey towards a career in health care, or you're looking to explore what opportunities are available, we are here.
The student shadow/internship position is an unpaid opportunity that offers a unique chance to apply your academic knowledge to the real-world setting, while developing critical skills, with the potential to earn academic credit depending on your university requirements.
Experiences Available at Astera Health include:
Clinical/Non Clinical Students: College or University students, enrolled through accredited post-secondary educational facilities in specific classes or training programs. These students are seeking opportunities to enhance their didactic instruction through clinical “hands-on experience” and are facilitated by faculty who closely monitor their progress.
Job Shadowing Students: Students enrolled in high schools, colleges/universities or other training class. Consideration will be given to students applying for programs that require a shadowing experience as a prerequisite. Students must be 16 years or older. These experiences are observation only and generally do not allow students to provide hands-on care to patients. These experiences are limited to one day, not to exceed 8 hours. Shadows who would like to return will need to repeat the above process.
Please be as specific as possible in your application so that we can best understand your expectations.
