Internship Partnership: 
The Chicago AMWA Consortium -
Rush Heart Center for Women ( RHCW)
Our partnership with the RHCW,  offers a unique and rewarding internship  that enable pre medical and medical students  to gain firsthand experience  and learn valuable skills to prepare them for a career in clinical medicine and  medical research.  With the rise in activities in  population health,  medical students soon realize that they have limited experience in training that incorporates experience, and knowledge in  the role of social determinants of health,  cultural competency and legal advocacy related to healthcare. 

We are  always looking for additional partners to Fellowship to continue to develop it into the most unique medical student fellowship in the country.  Contact us at  DiversityChief@amwa-doc.org

The Internship  consists of two parts: 
1) A Practicum, lasting 4 - 8 weeks in which the pre medical or medical student participates in and  completes a community engagement project that involves one or many of our Partners and practice members.  The type and scope of the project will be discussed by members of the  RHCW and CAC Board  and will culminate in a written report and poster submission to the National AMWA meeting,  Women Physician Congress meeting and a presentation at  the CAC August Networking Salon. 

2) Seminar Series:  The Intern will attend a series of workshops,  research,  clinical  meetings and field work  to gather a real world perspective on how clinical services and  population based research occurs.  Activities will include routine project work that range from health survey implementation, community health promotion, and educational  initiatives planning to infrastructure support. 
Pre medical, third and fourth year medical students are eligible to apply.
