Spring 2015 Clinical Practice Training Program



The Emergency Cardiovascular Care Center at AMPHS is once again offering the Clinical Practice Training Program to a select group of students this spring. Please see below for more information on the program and application instructions.



Who Are We?



The Academy of Medical and Public Health Services (AMPHS) is a federally recognized healthcare nonprofit organization operated solely by volunteers and dedicated to advancing the health care of underprivileged communities.  Named a U.S. Top-Rated Nonprofit out of 1.8 million reviewed nonprofits in 2013 and 2014, we are a multidisciplinary clinical services and public health research organization that develops sustainable healthcare infrastructures for patients who have been turned away by hospitals and other providers.  We specifically take in patient cases that are particularly difficult to solve and work in a dynamic team environment to develop primary care strategies for these at-risk patients.



We work very closely with undergraduate, post-bacc, graduate, and professional school students across the country to provide clinical setting exposure, training opportunities, volunteer and internship opportunities in clinical medicine, public health, health policy, and health law and ethics.



Description



Pursuing a career in medicine, allied health professions, and public health is highly rewarding and fulfilling, but involves much time, preparation, hard-work, and of course, financial resources. Undergraduate pre-health school curricula generally do not give an accurate picture of the intensity and rigor of medical school education, and doesn't provide practical, hands-on experience.



The Emergency Cardiovascular Care Center at the Academy of Medical and Public Health Services (AMPHS) offers a very innovative, unique, and popular annual 6 week intensive training program for prospective medical, nursing, public health, and allied-health school students designed to equip them with introductory clinical skills and offer experience of what the field of medicine and public health is all about.



The Clinical Practice Training Program integrates actual health professions school coursework with American Heart Association (AHA) certification courses to simulate a well-rounded clinical experience. Medial professionals and certified instructors will immerse you in intensive coursework, giving you firsthand insight into what it is like becoming a medical professional. You will attend courses in Cardiac Resuscitation, Medical & Trauma Emergencies, Cardiac & Neuro Electrophysiology with Neurodegenerative Disorders, EKG Interpretation, Clinical Pharmacology, Public Health & Policy, and Clinical Research Methods.



In addition to being able to take these courses, you will receive 5 certifications upon successful completion, including national AHA certifications in HeartSaver First Aid, Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers, EKG, Pharmacology, and an AMPHS Certificate of Completion.  These are the same AHA certifications that states require for healthcare professionals to apply for their licensure.
