Student Program Opportunities

Co-Op (Partnership with Door County School Districts)

This experience is only requested by High School Teachers/Counselors

This experience allows students to meet with leaders from multiple departments at DCMC before choosing one to do an observation experience. The Co-op experience is for over a semester where students meet with different DCMC staff in various roles, this will be scheduled through the Education Coordinator.

These opportunities are coordinated with the teacher/counselor only and students must be High School Juniors and Seniors to participate.

Observation Experience for Students Enrolled in a College Program

This Opportunity allows post-secondary students who are considering majoring in a health care related field to observe a department or individual for 8 hours but not to exceed 39 hours. The intent of this is to learn more about the roles and responsibilities of the role/department. The Emergency Department, Birthing Center and Surgical Services are excluded, however if this is an area of interest the Education Coordinator can set up a one on one meeting with the leader to discuss the responsibilities and education related to the different roles in those units. Students must be enrolled in a post-secondary educational institution to participate.
