CARESTREAM

 

About this course
This course enhances student development in healthcare by offering immersive learning experiences that blend direct patient care with principles of health systems science. The CARESTREAM program helps students explore future careers while contributing meaningfully to healthcare delivery. Students gain essential skills in patient care, quality improvement, and clinical operations, all while improving health system performance and patient satisfaction.

Learning and Impact
– Students participate in experiential learning at locations within OSUWMC (subject to change)

  • Emergency Department
  • Inpatient geriatrics
  • Inpatient case management
  • Rehabilitation hospital

– Key aspects of the program include minimizing immobility harm, supporting discharge transitions, and connecting patients and caregivers with local resources
– Since inception in 2023, students have completed nearly 5000 hours of direct clinical experience whilst in this semester-long program
– Clinicians report high levels of satisfaction, with 97% reporting satisfaction with student performance and recognizing the positive impact of CARESTREAM students on their work areas and patient care

Student Feedback
– Students report improved communication skills, enhanced professional development, increased comfort in interactions with patients and clinicians, and a deeper understanding of hospital operations and teamwork
– 93% of students found the clinical experience useful and relevant to their future careers

This course may be a good option for you if you are…
– Considering a clinical career in healthcare? (medicine, rehabilitation, dietetics, social work, nursing, etc.)
– Potentially interested in a clinical career but have had little or no exposure?
– Deciding between multiple clinical careers?
not interested in a clinical career but still interested in healthcare operations and learning more about patient care?
– Having a difficult time obtaining observation hours for graduate school?*

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Healthcare!
– Enroll on BuckeyeLink

– For more information and how to participate, visit https://u.osu.edu/liftlab/our-work/carestream-cicip/ or contact course director, James P. Crick, Jr., at james.crick@osumc.edu
