Internships & Operation Walk
Dimensions supports a number of experiential learning opportunities that place students side-by-side with professionals in real-world situations.
Internships
Internships, independent studies, and job shadowing are great ways to gain insight and experience in a particular field. They also allow you to see whether or not a profession is really for you while strengthening both your resume and your applications to graduate and professional schools. Recent internships have been completed in locations from Iowa to India at sites that include:
- Milwaukee Department of Public Health
- Baylor University College of Medicine
- Mayo Clinic
- Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics (Cedar Rapids, IA)
- Indian Institute for Health Management Research (Jaipur, India)
Operation Walk
Operation Walk is an on-going medical mission opportunity for Cornell students. The organization is a private, not-for-profit, volunteer medical services organization that provides free surgical treatment for patients in developing countries and in the United States who have no access to life-improving care for arthritis or other debilitating bone and joint conditions. It also educates in-country orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists and other health care professionals on the most advanced treatments and surgical techniques for diseases of the hip and knee joints.
