DATT 6th Form Summer Health Internship
Overview:
In response to the considerable interest from students seeking volunteer opportunities at our organization, the Diabetes Association of Trinidad and Tobago (DATT) initiated its 6th Form Internship Programme in 2022. Recognizing the need, we developed a structured seven-week program to offer participating students exposure to various aspects of our operations, including point-of-care testing (HbA1c, Lipid), administrative tasks, fundraising techniques, the daily operations of a diabetes clinic, general eye screening, and research methodologies. Many of these aspiring interns are pursuing careers in nursing, medicine, and surgery. The primary objective of this internship is to furnish these 6th-form students with comprehensive medical-oriented experience, aiding them in their journey toward becoming well-rounded healthcare professionals.
**During each week, the interns will have rotations in addition to the above sessions. The rotations included:
- -Administrative duties (phone calls, interacting with DATT customers)
- -HbA1c and Lipid Profile testing
- -Visiting the Trinidad Eye Hospital
- -Visiting the Regional Health Authorities
Cost:
The internship program is offered at no cost, and all necessary materials will be supplied. Generous sponsorship for the program comes from TATIL and TATIL LIFE.
