BW AHEC offers Summer Health Internship Programs that target Bronx and Westchester County high school and college students with an interest in the health fields. Students are exposed to a variety of careers in the health professions and issues affecting health in their communities. Students are placed in health care settings three or four days a week (depending on academic grade/level) and participate in a mandatory didactic session weekly at Lehman College. These sesions encompass a full day and include lectures, field trips and other health-related activities. Students who successfully complete the Summer Health Internship Program (SHIP Grades 11-14) or the Health Career Bridge Program (HCIP College Juniors, Seniors and Post Bacs) will emerge with newfound connections, job readiness skills and insight into the world of health care.
