We shared here recently (and here) about Carver’s new Earn & learn paid internship program for Norwalk high school students.

Twenty-four of these students are interns at Norwalk Hospital. They were formed into four groups of six students, each cohort rotating equally through the hospital’s various departments, including HR, food services. and the hospital’s own power station.

One of these cohorts, as the photos here highlight, was welcomed by the hospital’s Chief Nursing Officer and the Nursing Leadership. The students were fitted for their own individual scrubs to be ordered for their days ahead in the internship program.

Medicine can be an extremely rewarding profession. It can also be a challenging career path. Our students shadow the most talented medical professionals in the world to learn what they will be getting into.

Carver after-school students learn essential leadership and teamwork skills. They learn the importance of avoiding snap judgments, contending with uncertainty, communicating effectively and humanely, and working as an effective team to deliver quality care to patients. And they learn about and abide by all the privacy rules that govern hospitals and healthcare.
