“…Vital interactive skills such as inter-personal relations and team work, in conjunction with these personal skills, can be developed in traditional courses, but a significant proportion of the skills can only be developed and acquired in the real environment of the work place. "Internship is viewed as a vehicle that supports the adaptation of academic preparedness to skills required by the work market" [11]. Internship is an acceptable phase in the study of medicine, attorneys at law, teaching etc.…”

Internship is an inseparable part of some curricula such as Medicine, Law, Accounting, Teaching and more disciplines, where internship is a crucial part of the curriculum. This is not the situation when it comes to technological studies such as Electronics. Is there any justification for this?This article reviews ten years experience of implementing internship at more then 130 Hi -Tech. factories and research institutes, as an obligatory requirement for the Bachelor degree in EEE. The paper presents the supporting array and the academic requests. A pilot research investigating characteristics of the internship has been conducted lately. About 100 students and 20 supervisors asked to fill in questionnaires. Until now, 44 students and 13 supervisors answered. The results are presented in this paper. W 0-7803-7724-9/03/$17.00

“…In early 2020, population health programs faced an influx of demand from patients who were potentially exposed to coronavirus infection and who needed help with testing, treatment, and tracing services related to COVID-19 (7). Meanwhile, undergraduate institutions have launched service learning programs to ensure that students are exposed to high impact practices such as internships (8)(9)(10)(11). Students benefit from internships and other experiential learning opportunities because they allow students to apply knowledge, gain skills, interact with role models and mentors, and work on interprofessional teams (2,(12)(13)(14).…”

Extending the Population Health Workforce Through Service Learning Internships During COVID: A Community Case Study

This report arises from the intersection of service learning and population health at an academic medical center. At the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the Office of Population Health and Accountable Care (OPHAC) employs health care navigators to help patients access and benefit from high-value care. In early 2020, facing COVID-19, UCSF leaders asked OPHAC to help patients and employees navigate testing, treatment, tracing, and returning to work protocols. OPHAC established a COVID hotline to route callers to the appropriate resources, but needed to increase the capacity of the navigator workforce. To address this need, OPHAC turned to UCSF's service learning program for undergraduates, the Patient Support Corps (PSC). In this program, UC Berkeley undergraduates earn academic credit in exchange for serving as unpaid patient navigators. In July 2020, OPHAC provided administrative funding for the PSC to recruit and deploy students as COVID hotline navigators. In September 2020, the PSC deployed 20 students collectively representing 2.0 full-time equivalent navigators. After training and observation, and with supervision and escalation pathways, students were able to fill half-day shifts and perform near the level of staff navigators. Key facilitators relevant to success reflected both PSC and OPHAC strengths. The PSC onboards student interns as institutional affiliates, giving them access to key information technology systems, and trains them in privacy and other regulatory requirements so they can work directly with patients. OPHAC strengths included a learning health systems culture that fosters peer mentoring and collaboration. A key challenge was that, even after training, students required around 10 h of supervised practice before being able to take calls independently. As a result, students rolled on to the hotline in waves rather than all at once. Post-COVID, OPHAC is planning to use student navigators for outreach. Meanwhile, the PSC is collaborating with pipeline programs in hopes of offering this internship experience to more students from backgrounds that are under-represented in healthcare. Other campuses in the University of California system are interested in replicating this program. Adopters see the opportunity to increase capacity and diversity while developing the next generation of health and allied health professionals.

“…Some internships are paid; some offer academic credit; some are part-time during the academic year; some are full-time during the summer (Maynard, 1997). Some are structured as part of a college curriculum (Carter, 1998).…”

Undergraduate students often seek summer or academic-year internships as part of their academic and professional development. This case report illustrates a systematic self-marketing approach to generating internship opportunities, based on the theory of diffusion of innovations, and insights from the field of relationship marketing. Steps in the process for obtaining job or internship offers include: identifying areas of desired contribution; enlisting allies; identifying role models; interviewing role models; and demonstrating your value and joining the team. This case report illustrates how one student followed these steps to generate an internship opportunity. Overall, relationship marketing skills can help students improve their career prospects. Diverse students from under-resourced backgrounds may face barriers to accessing allies and role models. Such students should seek out pipeline programs that provide mentoring and other connections. These programs will improve student ability to engage in relationship marketing by expanding their network of allies, role models, and mentors. Employers should also identify pipeline programs and partner with them to assure greater inclusion of students from under-resourced backgrounds in their internship programs.
