Learning And Development Intern Jobs in Lima, OH

Functioning within the Health System’s mission, vision, values, policies and procedures, the Clinical Intern functions as a partner to the Registered Nurse with the goal of providing quality patient care. In addition to patient care, the Clinical Intern transcribes physician orders and performs a variety of clerical tasks as needed. The Clinical Intern will also have the opportunity to attend instructor-led classes in topics that have been identified as essential for the new graduates, including professional competencies and quality measures that impact patients’ clinical outcomes and satisfaction.

The Clinical Interns will have the opportunity to contribute to clinical quality and organizational strategic goals through the development of an evidence-based project which will be focused on a specific clinical area/patient population: medical/surgical, critical care, emergency medicine, perioperative services, or transitional care/rehabilitative services.
