Internships
The HSA program connects students to the Western New York community through various means including internships and partnerships.
Students work with faculty in projects with area healthcare organizations. These strategic partnerships enable students to work with healthcare leaders and to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Students also work in a variety of health care settings while fulfilling the internship requirement.
