Internship Opportunity – OSUWMC Cardiac Resuscitation Internship Application (4/10/2024)

https://forms.gle/TcKduC8n5VJ8yc5L6

Application Deadline: April 12, 2024

Each year, more than 400,000 people in the United States are victims of cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, the majority of these people will not survive. However, if these people receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) their survival can increase by two to three times. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) strongly believes in improving the survival from cardiac arrest in Ohio. With this goal, OSUWMC has formed the Cardiac Resuscitation Internship Program. This program is a one-year undergraduate internship formed in conjunction with the Columbus Division of Fire and the American Heart Association. The goal is to improve the provision of CPR in the community by providing community CPR training and organizing community programs to increase awareness. The internship is a volunteer experience where they receive training in advanced CPR skills, public speaking, and community outreach along with potential career development opportunities in the Emergency Department or EMS shadowing.
