<strong>Overlook</strong> <strong>Summer</strong><br />

<strong>Internship</strong> <strong>Program</strong><br />

“This program was so fantastic because<br />

I can truly make an informed decision on<br />

whether to become a doctor.”<br />

KM, Emory University<br />

“The best part of the program for me was<br />

talking to the doctors about their path to<br />

medicine, hearing why they chose what<br />

specialty they did, and then observing them<br />

do their job, which is something that they<br />

clearly love.”<br />

<strong>Summer</strong> 2012<br />

For college students<br />

interested in hands-on<br />

experience in the medical field<br />

Are you interested<br />

in a career in medicine?<br />

<strong>Overlook</strong> Medical Center, located in Summit, NJ, is<br />

offering college students the opportunity to get<br />

hands-on experience in the medical field through the<br />

<strong>Overlook</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Internship</strong> <strong>Program</strong> (OSIP).<br />

How does it work?<br />

During the four-week program, interns will shadow<br />

medical professionals (mostly physicians but also<br />

therapists, hospital administrators, nurses and social<br />

workers) in one-day rotations to see what life is<br />

like in each particular field. Some of the medical<br />

disciplines covered include Primary Care, Cardiology,<br />

Neurosurgery, Oncology, Emergency Medicine,<br />

Pediatrics, General Surgery, and Physical Therapy.<br />

Rotations include experience in the operating room,<br />

emergency department, hospital floors, physician<br />

offices and meetings.<br />

Each day, Monday through Thursday, begins with a<br />

one-hour breakfast discussion led by a healthcare<br />

professional who will discuss his or her field. The<br />

remainder of the day, each intern will spend time<br />

shadowing his/her assigned mentor of the day.<br />

Fridays will consist of a half-day mentorship with<br />

a lunch session where interns will be able to share<br />

experiences and discuss topics of interest.<br />

“The best part was definitely having the<br />

opportunity to shadow physicians and see<br />

and learn things that I would not normally<br />

be able to at this stage. I loved getting up<br />

every day because I knew I was going to see<br />

something different”<br />
