Mount Mercy Academy Healthcare Summer Internships
by cnewman

For Mount Mercy Academy students it's not all "fun in the sun" this summer. Young women who belong to the Academy of Science and Healthcare are taking advantage of the time available to them to work with professional mentors in the field of science and healthcare.
The MMA Academy of Science and Heathcare is a unique career internship
program for students to experience different professions first hand.
Students will have the opportunity to interact with professionals in the
field of their choice as well as have exposure to many other careers.
MMA has teamed up with administration and staff at Mercy Hospital to
create a vivid learning experience for the girls. Each student enrolled
in this program will have the opportunity to be placed in an internship
in the field of her choice, not necessarily healthcare specific.
Eight rising juniors are shadowing at Mercy Hospital with hospital staff
while upcoming seniors are taking school accredited internships. Annie
Barnes (Fredonia) and Jenna Dasta (West Seneca) are interning with Dr.
Steven Barnes at the Barnes Primary Care Services in Angola and
Silvercreek. Laura Pantano (Derby) will be assisting at the Buffalo
Neurosurgery Group in West Seneca with Dr. Egnatchik and Erin Bender
(Lackawanna) and Megan Sheehan (Buffalo) will be interning at Georgetown
University Hospital under the auspices of Paul Warda, CFO.
