Talent Development
Just as the clinical rotation experience is crucial to the budding clinician, engaging students is equally important to the health care workforce needs of Foundation Health Partners and our community.
For those who are deciding on which health care career they want to pursue, we host career exploration activities, career fairs for our local students, and community members, and we partner with the local high school HOSA Future Health Professionals clubs.
We support students from a variety of schools to include allied health, laboratory sciences and medical students:
- Medical Assistants
- Midwifery
- Nursing All levels CNA-APRN
- Paramedicine
- Pharmacy
- Physician Assistant
- Radiology Services
- Additional rotations available on inquiry
Advanced Practice Providers
Advanced Practice Providers are one of the fastest growing areas in medicine. Students in Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant programs require 500-2000 hours across various departments. In order to best meet this demand and provide a quality experience for all parties, Foundation Health Partners has implemented a structured application cycle.
Rotations are planned by start date. If a rotation falls over more than one rotation, select the earlier rotation.
| If the rotation Starts Between: | |
| January 1 - April 30 | Application deadline October 1 |
| May 1 - July 31 | Application deadline February 1 |
| August 1 - December 31 | Application deadline May 1 |
Students who are on rotation with non-staff providers who will be practicing in any Foundation Health Partners facility will need to complete all student paperwork for confidentiality and compliance. This process can take up to 60 days.
Allied Health
Allied health careers represent approximately 60% of all health care providers, and covers 80 different professions. Allied Health falls into two broad categories: assistants/ technicians and therapist/ technologists.
FHP is proud to support those students examining careers in Allied Health fields and offers several training programs, apprenticeships, fellowships, and paid training opportunities to help meet the needs of our communities.
