HSM - 626 HSM Part-Time Internship

The standard HSM Internship requires real world work experience in a health care organization. HSM part-time students are almost always full-time working professionals in a health care organization. For PT students with fulltime work experience in a health care organization, the internship experience should require the part-time student to perform duties or tasks in a highly distinguishable capacity than their current full time role at their employer organization. There are a number of options for part-time (PT) students, who work fulltime, to complete the HSM Internship degree requirement; the student’s academic adviser and the internship director work with part-time students early in their studies to plan an approach that meets the characteristics of an “ideal” Rush Internship and emphasizes the 10 “distinguishing competencies” plus the professionalism competency. Demonstration of the Rush ICARE (Innovation, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect and Excellence) values is also expected. During the first semester in the program, data management sessions will also build upon basic and intermediate excel and access knowledge, data management skills are further strengthened to handle real world data challenges (i.e., domain and data understanding, data cleaning, data transformation, output generation, and creating reports and dashboards) to facilitate decision making.
