About the Internship
This internship provides an opportunity to engage deeply in caregiver support for cancer patients by conducting thorough needs assessments and psychosocial screenings of caregivers. Interns will facilitate supportive counseling aimed at managing stress, coping mechanisms, caregiver burnout, grief, bereavement, and fostering effective communication with patients.
Confidentiality will be paramount as interns maintain detailed counseling records and documentation. Collaboration with a multidisciplinary team—including psychologists, psychiatrists, oncologists, nurses, and medical social workers—is essential to ensure comprehensive patient care and support. Interns will contribute to crisis intervention, referral processes, and the development of educational tools to aid caregiver understanding and resilience.
Participation in case discussions, supervision sessions, and departmental meetings forms a critical part of the learning experience. Additionally, interns will assist in data collection, audits, research, and evaluate outcomes related to psycho-oncology services.
