We have the opportunity of possibly getting an internship in the sterile processing department. If anyone has a successful internship in their sterile processing department, please share tasks that your interns do during their internship! The department manager is wanting some ideas that we could work with! Thanks so much! |

Small Hospital Internships

This is our first year with Project SEARCH in a small community hospital. We have a max capacity of about 40 beds. I currently have 11 internships in the hospital (SPD, Kitchen, Enviromental Services, Rehab and OB). Any ideas for other departments? I don't want to burn departments out with always having to train interns, so I would like more internship options! |

classroom time

Hello! This is my 2nd year as the instructor for Project SEARCH at our local community hospital! I was curious if anyone had a particular outline of what they worked on each day during instruction time. Do you do a new topic each day, stay with the same topic each week, month, etc? This is what I struggled with a bit last year. I just felt I was bouncing all over with the curriculum! Any ideas would be appreciated! |

Teambuilding Activity

I have invited the steering committee to come in and do a teamwork activity with our new interns! Does anyone have an additional teamwork activities that would work for this? I was hoping for something different from what is in the curriculum (because I use those throughout the year)! Suggestions would be appreciated! |

We had a local company make ours. You can access the Project SEARCH logo in your toolkit. I believe that Project SEARCH also has a store you can purchase from. |

Anyone have anything good to teach about the importance of maintaining stamina on the job? I have a few students that are very sluggish after lunch! |

skills trainers

Hello! As your interns are becoming more and more independent, what is the role does your skills trainer take on? I thought I understood that as the intern becomes more independent, the skills trainer fades a little. Am I wrong on this? |

What is a typical day look for a skills trainer at the halfway point of an internship (when the intern understands and is independent in his/her job)?
Also, thanks for the feedback! |

Hello Everyone! I have a therapy company that reached out and asked if we would be interested in coming to their offsite company and completing an internship with them! It is about 15 minutes away from our host internship. How does that work with job coaches, transportation, etc? |

Does anyone else have issues with helping the interns understand the importance of taking only the allotted lunch break time? Any ideas? |
