MetroHealth Experience
At Lincoln-West School of Science and Health our partnership with the MetroHealth System allows our students to experience how the content they are learning in the classroom applies to workplace and community experiences.
Freshmen participate in an introduction to the organizational structure and healthcare careers within MetroHealth through monthly experiences and workshops.
Sophomores participate in job mentoring where they meet with a MetroHealth staff member monthly to discuss career pathways and opportunities within the MetroHealth System and engage in monthly career talks to learn about the many occupational opportunities and education and training options that best match their interests and career goals.
Juniors participate in job shadowing to get a real-world view of various departments within the MetroHealth System. This experience will give juniors experience within these departments before deciding what their internship choices will be in their senior year.
Seniors are placed in a 120-hour internship, which is a requirement of the senior seminar courses, where they take on the role of a worker within the MetroHealth System one day a week and are given classroom opportunities to reflect on their experiences in the workplace. Within this internship they will identify problems they observe around inequity in the healthcare field and conduct research before presenting to the public at the end of the school year.
