Our program provides many internship opportunities for upper-division students. Internships are typically done at local high-tech companies and provide a great opportunity to work in a professional setting, which is an invaluable learning experience.
Currently our students do medical imaging internships at Los Robles Hospital (Thousand Oaks), Simi Valley Hospital, Ventura Collage Hospital, St. Johns Hospital (Oxnard) and Pleasant Valley Hospital (Camarillo).
Recently a student did her internship with Engineering World Health, which offers physics and engineering students an opportunity to improve the healthcare in underserved areas. She worked in a hospital in Tanzania installing refurbished medical equipment and training staff in its use, and repairing broken equipment.
Another student constructed an air sampler to remotely monitor upper air quality, and carried it on a 1100 cu. ft. blimp.
