The Federal Vaccine Mandate requires all students, learners and visiting faculty members to be fully vaccinated* against COVID-19. Atrium is required to be able to produce full documentation of vaccination for all individuals present in its properties upon demand.
Atrium Health will review a request for a medical exemption for the Covid vaccine. The medical exemption request for the COVID vaccine must be primarily related to documentation of a severe allergic reaction to the first dose. Documentation must be provided from a licensed provider who has evaluated the student and feels that additional doses of the Covid vaccine would be harmful. The licensed provider cannot be related to the student. Atrium Health cannot accommodate a request for a religious exemption.
If you experience Covid symptoms or test positive for Covid, please contact Teammate Health at (704)631-0200 or TeammateHealth@atriumhealth.org for assistance.
There are several kinds of students based on the program you are studying and/or the nature of the experience.
Identification of a qualified preceptor is the responsibility of the student, not the Student Placement Office. It is strongly recommended that students who seek an experience at Atrium Health work through your school/education provider to make arrangements. Each school/program has a different set of requirements for the educational experience.
The Summer Internship Program provides a unique opportunity for students to gain project-based learning experience. The program is intended to bring both college (undergraduate and graduate level) and high school students to Atrium Health. All high school interns are placed through the Mayor’s Youth Employment Program (MYEP) in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and The Senator Scott Opportunity Internship Program in Fort Mill Schools.
Internships include:
This is our department's second year with the program, and it has been a great experience for us! So professional and well-prepared to work in this environment and provide significant contributions.
Phenomenal program!! Can't wait until next summer to host more interns. (Our interns) were amazing! Such an amazing group of students and future leaders!
Hosting interns allow me to connect back to purpose. Someone helped me so, it’s only right that I pour the same efforts back into our future generation.
The 2022 Atrium Health Summer Internship Program application cycle has ended.
Summer Internship applications are accepted in March/April 2023. Students can apply on the Atrium Health Careers site. Search for Student Intern/Summer.
Students interested in internships must apply for these programs through their high school.
Please contact the Student Placement teams for experiences at Atrium Health Navicent, Floyd and Wake Forest.
For the Greater Charlotte Region Only:
Shadowing and observation experiences are suspended, unless the observation experience is a programmatic shadowing/observation at the collegiate level or the student is a current Atrium Health teammate. Shadowing or observation is permissible if required to receive credit toward a healthcare degree completion and the student attends an education provider holding an Clinical Education Affiliation Agreement (CEAA) with CMHA d/b/a Atrium Health.
All applicable requirements and constraints under the affiliation agreement must be observed. This excludes students in pre-professional degree programs that require observation experiences making them eligible to apply for a professional school. (i.e., the biology major that requires shadowing or work experience that enables an application to medical school or PA school)
Currently Atrium Health is concentrating on providing experiences to students who are in pursuit of academic credit at the collegiate level. There is no immediate plan to re-open shadowing experiences for students who do not meet the criteria above.
High School students should consider AHEC HEROES, PATCH, Rise to Success and MYEP student experiences. MYEP students must enroll through the school they attend and cannot enroll directly with Atrium Health.
Contact CareerDevelopment@AtriumHealth.org for Greater Charlotte Region experiences that meet the criteria above.
