Project Examples

Requirements

Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Project examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  • Identifying and writing about sociological theories as they apply to a wide range of everyday interactions and institutions;
  • Compare and critique healthcare organizations, systems, and approaches;
  • Evaluate the evolution and impact of health programs and healthcare delivery on population health outcomes;
  • Develop communication tools for patient, clients, or the general population on issues relating to healthcare;
  • Develop a database of useful tools or information for clients or the organizations use;
  • Communicate with clients about services offered by a healthcare agency;
  • Co-Lead virtual workshops for youth on issues related to health and society

Additional company criteria

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
  • question

    Be available for a virtual meeting with the Internship Coordinator to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course. Be available to communication regularly with the student.

  • question

    Provide a dedicated contact who is available to train, mentor and evaluate the student as part of the internship requirement. This person should also be willing to fill out an evaluation form to provide feedback on the student's work as well as sign off on their total hours worked.
