Summer Health Care Intern Program (SCHIP)
Program Requirements


• Students must have completed either their junior or senior year of high school in a school district in proximity to the facility. Or, they must be a post-secondary student enrolled in a Minnesota educational institute or be a resident of Minnesota enrolled in an out-of-state program.

Post-secondary students must be enrolled, or plan to enroll in a 2-yr or 4-yr health care degree program with the intention of completing the program. Employers must balance the number of secondary and post-secondary students to the extent that there are sufficient qualifying applicants.

• Students are employed between Memorial Day and Labor Day for 6 to 12 weeks for at least minimum wage. Students work a minimum of 6 weeks/120 hours to a maximum of twelve weeks/480 hours.

• Employers must interview and hire those students they feel will be most likely to meet the expectations of the facility and the SHCIP program. Students must complete application forms and provide letters of recommendation.

• Possible intern duties include: registering patients, cleaning equipment, sterilizing instruments, scheduling appointments, restocking or preparing exam rooms, preparing or pulling charts, transporting clients, entering or collecting data, answering telephones, and assisting staff. Students should not be routinely assigned to duties not associated with healthcare careers such as lawn care or general maintenance or cleaning.
