Volunteer: Patient Navigation Internship

The Patient Navigation Internship Program provides a unique opportunity for interns to work with patients and gain valuable insights to potential health care barriers and help patients navigate the healthcare system. 

Interns assist patients as referral specialists helping  assisting patients with barriers getting to specialist and diagnostic testing. Interns aim to make the referral process/experiences for patients as manageable and accessible as possible.  Interns work closely with HealthSource of Ohio’s clinical site team members including care coordinators to learn about available resources and ensure patients have access to their healthcare needs. 

 Through shadowing opportunities available for interns at HealthSource of Ohio’s designated clinical site, interns gain a better understanding of a clinician’s roles and responsibilities, the framework behind a patient-clinician relationship, observe the process behind treatment plans, and ultimately see medicine in its reality. 

Time spent in this internship program is invaluable, as interns not only gain a first person view of primary care, but make connections, and build on their health care experience. 

We request intern commits 150 hours to ensure an impactful and meaningful experience. We are very flexible with hours and days to make your schedule work around school schedule.
