4 Internship Process 4 steps in the internship process/plan 1. Self-Assessment 2. Investigation of Internship/career options 3. Focus and goal setting 4. Networking Oregon MPH Career and Job search Manual, 2012.
5 1. Self-Assessment Skills Values Interests personality
6 Questions to Ask Yourself What do you want to learn in your internship? Think about: past or current jobs volunteering specific activities
7 Questions to Ask Yourself: HPHB Are you passionate about working with a specific population or populations? Ethnicity Age Gender Are you passionate about working with a specific health issue? Obesity HIV/AIDS Maternal and Child Health
8 Questions to Ask Yourself: HMP Are you interested in working in a specific organization? Hospital, insurance company, clinic, non-profit Are you interested in a specific area? Reimbursement Compliance Administration/Management Health Policy Quality Improvement
9 Questions to Ask Yourself: ESH Are you interested in working in a specific organization? Government, private company, etc. Are you interested in a specific area? Water Quality Air Pollution Occupational Health & Safety Other Environmental Issues
10 2. Investigation of Internship Options Be proactive!!!! Take action steps to get the Internship you want This requires time, research and contacting people
11 Internship Decision Making Look at the following statements, why do you think these result in unfulfilling internships? I need to graduate, so I will take any internship I am busy with school, I am going to just ask the coordinator for contacts, I don t have time to look for internships. I rather be placed, by telling someone what I want, and them finding me an internship. I am too scared to contact people, what if they say no? I am overwhelmed and don t know where to start, I guess I will just apply to things that sounds interesting and take the site that offers me an internship.
12 Internship Process What are some actions you can take to make sure you get the right internship?
13 Actions to Take Job Shadow Do Informational Interviews Research organizations you are interested in Network!
14 Investigating Internship Sites Look on the internship website Find a contact person If there is no contact, look on website
15 Investigating Internship Sites Before contacting sites make sure you : have a solid resume are very clear about the internship requirements (hours, public health appropriate) are familiar with the site and have researched them know what you are looking for (self-assessment)
16 What Questions Do I need to Ask? Affiliation Agreements Some sites require an affiliation agreement, or legal contract (hospitals, universities, health departments) Can take 1-3 months, sometimes longer. When a site asks if they have a contract with us, check with me, this is not referring to the paper work but a contract between the organization and OSU. Procurement and Contracts Office (PaCS)
17 What do I need to Ask? Ask what their process is to officially have you ready to start the internship the term you are planning for. Do they need a Background Check? Immunizations? Drug Test? Orientation? Training? Other Requirements? Make sure to find out in advance, as this often can delay the start of an internship. Make sure they are aware of our policy, we DO NOT do background checks, or verify immunizations.
18 Criminal History/Background Check If there is something that will show up with a Criminal History Check, it is best to be honest and bring it up before it is done, to explain it.
19 What do I need to Ask? Find out the work expectations. What does a typical day look like? What are the hours? Are you expected to be there from 8-5 M-F? Can you take a lunch off site? Where do you park? What is the dress code? Are there specific work policies you need to be aware of? What is the protocol if you are sick? Expectations on showing up on time, etc. How are you going to get feedback? Will you meet with your preceptor weekly? What is the format?
20 What do I need to Ask? What competencies can I fulfill through this internship? What will I be working on? How can I get regular feedback?
21 Professionalism: Set yourself up to Succeed! Professional address Professional tone with the site Know how to address person, or ask them (Dr., Ms., Mr., etc) If they you, them back in a timely manner, and keep them updated with your process.
22 Follow-Up General rule: 2-3 days if you have not heard from them or received an out of office reply. Try calling them and leaving a voic as well.
23 Paid and Unpaid Internships Internships can be paid or unpaid, payment is a matter decided upon between you and the site. If you are unsure, it is best to bring it up as soon as possible with other questions about the internship Payment can be compensation for gas, a stipend, hourly pay, etc.
24 Myths about Internships 1. While doing my fieldwork, I will learn by doing and will not have assignments and homework as in traditional classes. 2. Doing an Internship is Like Being a Volunteer in the Organization 3. Doing an Internship is Like Doing a Service-Learning Project 4. If I do not enjoy my internship, I must have chosen the wrong field site or wrong career 5. An Internship is like an apprenticeship. I will work Under a Qualified Professional and Learn to Do as he or she does 6. As an intern I will have the responsibilities and autonomy of a professional staff person 7. For my field work to be most useful, It should be in the same type of job I would like to find after graduation 8. Everyone gets an A in the internship 9. My Fieldwork will probably lead to a job within that agency
25 What to look for in a Preceptor They have a background in a relevant field They are available to give you regular feedback They have a leadership/communication style that fits with yours
26 Information for Preceptors They need to: Provide you with office space, working off site for more than a few hours is appropriate. Provide you with regular feedback as you request it. Provide mentoring based on your goals. Satisfy the 360 hour internship requirements and provide diverse activities/projects that fit with your option/minor.
27 3. Focus and Goal Setting Create your own professional goals/standards What are your short term goals What are your long term goals What are your priorities?
28 4. Networking Ongoing Put yourself out there You will be surprised at the power of networking, before, during and after your internship!
29 Seek out Leadership Principles From those in the field, it is essential to have some leadership models, principles, philosophy, styles that work for you to adopt in your professional life. Dr. Stephen Covey: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Principle centered approach for solving professional problems
30 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 1. Be Proactive 2. Begin with the End in Mind: know your goals 3. Put First Thinks First: prioritize 4. Think Win/Win: collaborate, cooperate, everyone benefits 5. See First to Understand, Then to be Understood: get all of the facts first. 6. Synergize: effectively communicating, cooperative, working together in a creative way, empowered, harmony. 7. Self-Renewal (Sharpen the Saw): Continue to grow, learn, professional development
