Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship/capstone, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Student skills and competencies include, but are not limited to:

• Describing management of human resources within healthcare organizations.
• Tracing the evolution of contemporary healthcare human resources management.
• Identifying current trends and critical human resource management issues associated with various categories of healthcare professionals in healthcare organizations.
• Listing the social, legal, and economic environments impacting management of human resources in healthcare.
• Discussing various aspects of human resources management such as employee motivation, leadership development and practices, conflict resolution strategies, change management, and development of a customer-centered focus.
• Illustrating technical healthcare human resource management functions: including job design and analysis, staff recruitment and selection methods, employee training and development, performance management techniques, and principles of compensation and fringe benefit management.
• Reviewing legal and regulatory issues involved in organized labor/collective bargaining units.
