Summer 2012 Applications
Summer 2012 Applications
Project Healthcare is an innovative volunteer program for enthusiastic and inspired college and post-baccalaureate students. Created by the Bellevue Hospital Center Emergency Department, PHC allows students an opportunity to experience and observe many different aspects of healthcare. The program is comprised of several weekly rotations which are based in the Emergency Department. It offers the committed student a unique healthcare experience, which is intended to furnish a wealth of knowledge about the numerous options for a career in healthcare. Additional rotations in other areas of the hospital as well as participation in research and health fair projects allow students the exposure they need to make educated career choices. Furthermore, lectures and weekly meetings provide students with a chance to discuss medical issues, including the practical problems that hospitals, patients, and medical staff encounter in the healthcare system.
Applications for students interested in participating in Project Healthcare in Summer 2012 are being accepted now. The summer program begins in early June and ends in mid-August, and participants should expect to work a minimum of 22 hours/week. Applications will be accepted until February 10, 2012. The application (and more information) is accessible online at: http://emergency.med.nyu.edu/electives/college-students/project-healthcare.
All application materials can be sent via the online form, but Project Healthcare requires that all letters of recommendation are sent in hard copy form, including an original signature. Letters can be mailed to:
