Student Education
A student is an individual who participates in a department or Clinical Unit at Children's Mercy. Students must be approved and covered by a signed Student Participation Agreement.
Hands-on interactions with patients will be limited to those appropriate for Students and will occur only with appropriate oversight and supervision. “Student” does not include participants in organized Hospital volunteer programs.
Medical Student Programs
Children’s Mercy offers clerkship rotations to local medical schools, electives or sub-internships rotations to local/visiting medical students, and observation opportunities.
For nurse practitioner students
Opportunities for clinical hours precepted by Children’s Mercy Advanced Practice Providers ensure the pediatric providers of tomorrow are given a high quality patient care experience.
For nursing students
Training programs are an integral part of our dedication to nursing excellence, which has earned Children’s Mercy regular Magnet Recognition, nursing’s highest honor.
For allied health students
Internships, practicums and award programs support certification on the road to a range of health care careers.
High School Student Programs
High school students interested in becoming a physician, nurse, researcher, or allied health professional, have opportunities to enroll in summer experiences, assist with research projects and observe in a unique area of interest.
Observerships
Children's Mercy provides dynamic opportunities for observers or shadowing students. These opportunities give high school or college students, medical students, and students in an allied health program a chance to observe our experts from various clinical areas for 1 day, up to an 8-hour experience to gain perspective and exposure.
