H.O.P.E. Summer Medical Internship

WSU Health Occupations Preparatory Experience (HOPE) Program: Were Back! After a year of working to secure funding for the Project H.O.P.E program we are proud to announce we will be able to fund a new group of students for the summer of 2012. This will be the eleventh summer for Project H.O.P.E. aimed at increasing the number of students from ethnically diverse groups currently underrepresented in the health professions who might pursue an education in health careers.

To qualify for the program you have to be a current junior or senior in high school at the time you are filling out the application.

Through Project H.O.P.E. students are placed in internships at health care facilities within the student’s local community. The internship will last between 4 and 6 weeks and is approximately four hours per day. The student will rotate through several health care departments (within one facility) or through more than one facility to experience the broad range of available health care careers. Students are encouraged to ask questions, observe procedures, find out about education requirements, and explore health careers. Project H.O.P.E. interns will be provided a stipend for participating in the program. The stipend is paid at the end of the internship program and upon receipt of a provided invoice and completion of a student journal documenting their activities. The stipend is paid at the minimum per hour wage level or $173.00 weekly. Applications are due March 9, 2012

We serve students in Eastern Washington which include the following counties: Adams, Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Grant, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lincoln, Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Yakima.
