Name: Kaylee Cialella
Year: 2015
Major: Allied Health
Hometown: Cuyahoga Falls, OH
Internship: Delaware County EMS
Location: Station 2, Sunbury, OH
Internship responsibilities:
I am a certified EMT. On advanced runs, I observe the EMTs and the paramedics, but I can sometimes help by hooking up EKGs and assisting the paramedics on
basic runs.
What I learned:
I got to see how EMTs (step above a paramedic)
deal with emergencies, because that is what I want to go into - Emergency
Medicine. I learned how to be able to stay calm under pressure, and I've gained more
patience. I've also learned how to be formal but caring at the same time.
Advice about searching for an internship:
For the medical
field especially, talk to your adviser and talk to their connections to find
people who would be willing to train you and spend extensive hours with you. Also,
talk to a student who is a year or two older than you to find out what they've done
that’s helped them.
Advice about how to make the most of an internship
experience:
Ask questions because whoever you're working with will be more than willing to help you
out and to talk about anything you have questions on. Also, if you see something that
interests you within the field, do further research on it.
