Student internship in clinical epidemiology
A part-time, paid student internship designed to provide hands-on experience in healthcare epidemiology and healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention and control.
The Clinical Epidemiology Department at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) offers a part-time, paid student internship designed to provide hands-on experience in healthcare epidemiology and healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention and control. Through a combination of structured educational experiences and direct observation of infection prevention activities, interns will gain valuable insight into the multifaceted role of Infection Preventionists and the essential functions of a comprehensive hospital-based infection prevention program.
Interns will participate in lesson-based learning, shadow Infection Preventionists across a variety of healthcare settings, and contribute to departmental initiatives through assigned projects and routine responsibilities that support the Clinical Epidemiology Department's mission and operations.
The goal of this internship is to provide students with meaningful experiential learning opportunities and foundational knowledge that foster a comprehensive understanding of the Infection Preventionist profession, and the critical role infection prevention and control programs play in promoting patient safety and healthcare quality.
The internship is anticipated to begin in January and continue for approximately 15 weeks, with flexible start and end dates available based on the selected candidate's schedule and academic commitments. Interns are expected to work approximately 15 to 20 hours per week throughout the internship period.
