Description

<p>Knowing what you want to be when you grow up can be tricky, but the New York City's Department of Education internship program, <a href='https://www.northwell.edu/news/the-latest/northwell-to-provide-student-internships-at-new-york-city-schools'>FutureReadyNYC</a>, is designed to help. The program provides high school students with exposure to professional careers; Northwell is the program's first healthcare partner. Lenox Hill Hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side, LIJ Forest Hills Hospital in Queens, and Lenox Health Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan gave students a sense of what a career in medicine could be like. On this episode, <a href='https://www.northwell.edu/about/leadership/sandra-lindsay-dhsc-mba-msn-rn-ccrn-k-ne-bc'>Sandra Lindsay, DHSc, MBA, MSN, RN</a>, speaks with two of the 65 participating teens, Suravi and Ayannah, as well as Northwell's vice president for Workforce & Community Education, Brian Aquart, who helps oversee the program.</p>
