GSM 614 - Healthcare Practicum

Institution:

Simmons University

Subject:

Description:

In the summer semester, the program requires students to complete a full-time, 10-week practicum with supervision by a faculty member and a field preceptor. Students receive broad exposure to a health care organization and conduct a specific management project that benefits the sponsoring organization. The program customizes the practicum depending on a student?s level of experience and particular interests in a health field sector, e.g. hospitals, managed care, insurance, advocacy, pharmaceuticals, etc. The practicum is full time (some are paid) for 10 weeks. Currently employed students may opt for a part-time practicum by spreading this requirement over two semesters. Students present and defend their field projects to the faculty, preceptors and fellow students.
