Blessing Hospital in Quincy, IL is pleased to announce that during the summer of 2009 we will offer a paid internship opportunity to a limited number of undergraduate students considering a career in medicine.
Applicants are expected to have completed their junior year and received a basic grounding in the sciences. Acceptance is highly competitive and is based primarily on students’ potential for success in medical school as demonstrated by prior academic performance, awards, activities, etc. Preference is given to those who live in the geographic region served by Blessing Hospital and those with one year of undergraduate studies remaining.
The internship gives students a broad exposure to clinical activities, offers the challenge of completing work related projects and allows time for follow-up observation in areas of interest. Interns interact with members of the Hospital’s medical staff. Stipends, underwritten by a grant from The Blessing Foundation, are paid at the rate of $10.00/hour. The program lasts 8 weeks and the projected start date is May 18 or 26, 2009.
Applications are available from <rmerrick@blessinghospital.com> or by electronically downloading, completing, and submitting this document in Microsoft Word format, and must be submitted along with a current transcript of grades by February 1, 2009. All materials should be sent electronically to:
