Inspired by the clinical rotations undertaken by third and fourth year medical students, the externship partners with King's Daughters' Health and local health providers in nearby Madison. This immersive ten-week program offers participants opportunity to gain a front row seat to numerous medical specialties, including family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics & gynecology, otolaryngology, anesthesiology, and emergency medicine (physician); out-patient and in-patient shadowing (physical and occupational therapy); or exposure to: multiple optometrists and optometric procedures, including medical laser surgeries (optometry); multiple dental practices as well as specialist practices in orthodontics and endodontics (dental); or various public health settings. Participants gain extensive shadowing experience but also develop personal connections with practicing physicians, therapists, optometrists, dentists, or public health practitioners in the area. Students may elect to use the externship as one unit of academic credit.</p> <p><strong>Time Commitment:</strong></p> <ul> <li>10+ weeks during the fall or winter semester</li> <li>Minimum of 5 hours in the clinic or rehabilitation center, usually 2-3 hours twice a week</li> </ul> <p><strong>Minimum Application Requirements</strong></p> <div style="width: 100%;"> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 150px;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 32px;"> <td style="width: 44.8913%; height: 32px;"><strong>For Physician, Optometry & Dental tracks:</strong></td> <td style="width: 55.1087%; height: 32px;"><strong>For Physical & Occupational Therapy & Public Health tracks:</strong></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 32px;"> <td style="width: 44.8913%; height: 32px;">One year of Hanover College Biology (BIO 161 & 185)</td> <td style="width: 55.1087%; height: 32px;">Completion of Hanover College Human Anatomy (KIP 215) (PT/OT only)</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 54px;"> <td style="width: 44.8913%; height: 54px;">One semester of Hanover College Organic Chemistry (CHE 221)</td> <td style="width: 55.1087%; height: 54px;"> <p>Cumulative GPA of 3.3 (Applicants with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above will receive consideration based on their other application materials.)</p> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 32px;"> <td style="width: 44.8913%; height: 32px;">Cumulative GPA of 3.3</td> <td style="width: 55.1087%; height: 32px;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p><strong>Application Packet:</strong></p> <ul> <li>500 word essay identifying your interest in this program and how it will benefit your future aspirations</li> <li>Two faculty references.
