About the Healthcare Internship (Great Pay):

Looking to gain real-world experience in healthcare that goes beyond shadowing? Want to make a difference in the lives of families while building hours for your pre-health journey?

The CareYaya Healthcare Internship offers hands-on, direct-care experience for students pursuing careers in medicine, nursing, physician associate, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other health professions. You’ll work one-on-one with older adults and patients living with dementia, Parkinson’s, cancer, stroke recovery, and other chronic conditions — providing companionship, support, and non-medical care that’s both meaningful and clinically relevant.

This is not an observer-only role. You’ll learn how to communicate with empathy, adapt to diverse needs, and navigate real patient interactions — while earning competitive pay and building a resume that stands out for healthcare schools.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide companionship and non-medical assistance to elders in home-based settings.
• Assist with activities of daily living (e.g., walking, eating, medication reminders, cognitive games).
• Support patients with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other conditions through gentle engagement and presence.
• Help families better understand the caregiving process and document changes in patient behavior or wellbeing.
• Reflect on patient experiences and participate in peer discussion groups or mentorship calls (optional).

Ideal Candidates

• Undergraduate or post-bacc students pursuing pre-med, pre-PA, pre-nursing, PT/OT, or public health paths.
• Compassionate, responsible, and eager to learn from real-world patient experience.
• Strong interest in elder care, dementia care, or chronic disease management.
• Excellent interpersonal communication skills.
• No prior certification required — full training provided.

What You’ll Gain

✅ Paid, flexible experience that fulfills clinical hours for most healthcare graduate programs
✅ A deeper understanding of patient-centered care, communication, and chronic conditions
✅ The chance to build real relationships and see the human side of medicine
✅ A strong letter of recommendation (based on performance)
✅ Mentorship opportunities from clinicians, students, and healthcare leaders

Healthcare isn’t just a career, it’s a calling. This internship gives you the chance to answer it early.
