Health Care Internship

Catalog description

Designed to provide the student the opportunity to integrate all previously learned health care management knowledge and skills. The management area of study and the practicum are mutually agreed upon by the student, the faculty member, and the health facility preceptor. This is a pass/fail course. Waivers may be granted for HCA 425 with the approval of the department chair. The student requesting the waiver must have significant health care management or administrative experience. In addition, students who can demonstrate that completion of the internship would create a hardship may also request a waiver. An approved upper level business class must be substituted when internship is waived. Such requests will be considered determined on a case-by-case basis.
