FAQs
No. At this time we are not able to compensate our interns.
We expect interns to commit at least 20 hours/week that can be largely scheduled based on interns' preferences.
For interns who are here for one full year, once your project is underway and you have completed at least 10% of the work, you will be trained as an anesthesia technician and will be in the OR one day a week. For students who are here for a shorter amount of time, you will be able to shadow cases on a regular basis.
Although you will find yourself very busy in the OR, you will not be working on your own. You will always be working with an anesthesia technician already on staff so that you may ask questions, troubleshoot issues, etc.
