Cooley Dickinson Hospital; Northampton, MA

Primary Responsibilities:


  • Shadow health care providers including intensivist, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner

There were no changes to my job responsibilities during my placement.


Overall I would rate this experience as excellent.


I would recommend this site to other students who would like to pursue a career in the medical field. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. You get to have hands on experience working with patients.


One aspect of this placement that I would change would be to have been able to participate more.


Advice I would give students looking for a placement would be to make sure you are given and complete the necessary paperwork ahead of time. Make sure you have adequate contact with your supervisor so you can discuss the terms of your placement and clearly define what it is you want to do and what you can do.
