Hello! I couldn't find any other thread talking about CHOP's externship this year. I was wondering if anyone else on here has an interview coming up or if anyone has recently gone through this process and externship? My interview is Friday the 13th and I couldn't be more nervous!
Hey, I applied for the summer 2016 externship program and have scheduled an interview. They have also invited me to apply for a fellowship that focuses on peds oncology, stating that the compensation would be $13.55/hr. I was wondering how much you guys were paid throughout the externship? I currently get paid a but more as a tech in an adult hospital but would take lesser pay to work in peds.
Thanks!
Hi amb, I cannot reply to your private message as I do not have enough posts. In an ideal situation, I would totally not care about the pay as I understand this is an amazing learning opportunity that many people would do for free. However, I have a toddler and I am his main provider. I have tons of family support and can get someone to watch him while I am away but I really do need decent $. Could you just give me an idea, more or less than what I stated before? Also, I would be commuting and hour and half. I already go to school full time, work part time hours, and am raising my child so I know I can thrive in crazy schedules. Thanks
