"The EIP is one of the most exciting programs I’ve ever worked with. This program focuses on the future of students and helps them get started in a career choice. The EIP gives students the opportunity to experience their dream job. The Medical Center of Aurora allows these students to shadow nurses and physicians so they learn firsthand about the environment and the various careers within healthcare. We frequently hire the interns after the program is completed.
People who are familiar with this program have frequently said that they wish a program like this was in place when they were in High School."
