The Michigan Daily - Monday, March 30, 1987 -Page 3 Health internships offered to minorities By EVE BECKER Dr. Richard Lichtenstein, an assistant professor in the University School of Public Health, last year saw a need to attract undergraduate minority students to public health fields. So he developed a summer inter- nship program to get minority stud- ents interested in the health fields. That program is now in its second year. The internship program arranges paid ten-week positions with local hospitals, health maintenance org- anizations (HMOs), and health fin- ancing agencies. "Its purpose is to inform under- graduate minority students about the whole field," Lichtenstein said. "It's an exciting area, there are jobs available. We want to tell minority students that they could work in the health field if they don't have the interest in or aptitude for clinical fields." LICHTENSTEIN said that in Detroit, which is 63 percent Black, only four out of 22 hospital chief executive officers are Black. "It's a real deficit, especially in top levels," he said. The School of Public Health has 10.8 percent minority student enrol- lment. So far 42 students, including students from other universities, have applied for the internship. There are 18 spots available. Although the application deadline is April 1, Lichtenstein will be taking applications through the beginning of next week. Lichtenstein said the program is developed to provide students with "real world problems and projects to complete." The participating organizations develop a job, arrange for a supervisor, and commit to pay the intern approximately $200 per week. TO SUPPLEMENT the in- terns' experience, Lichtenstein holds weekly seminars for the students in which he discusses the health field and health care systems, occasionally bringing in guest speakers. Lichtenstein attributes much of the program's success to the stud- ents ability to conduct and complete their own projects and their exposure to top administrators. LSA senior Traci Colvin worked in Comprehensive Health Services, a small HMO organization in Detroit. She was placed in the research department and worked with a senior research analyst, reporting the benefits that the HMO provides. Colvin, a communication major, has changed her career goals after her exposure to the health field. She has applied to the School of Public Health for the fall as a result of her summer experience. She was particularly pleased with the level of work she was able to do within the organization. "In a lot of summer jobs you don't get a chance to see the inside, we got to see (the health field) from an administrative view." LSA junior Billy Mann worked in the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, examining its patient escort system to see how it could work more effectively. He orig- inally was interested strictly in the medical sciences, but said he also became interested in hospital administration. "The administrators were great. One took me under his wing and taught me a lot of things you can't learn in a textbook. I was strictly oriented to the medical sciences be- fore," he said. "I thought admin- istrators were always the bad guys, but they were as concerned as the doctors were." Considering Abortion?

In the second and then in the most recent strike the police were called as students staged sit-ins at the Fleming building, but no arrests were made. In each strike, the students presented the administration with a set of demands focused on increas- raws on protest legacy ing Black student enrollment on campus, providing tuition waivers for underrepresented minority stud- ents, establishing a University-wide Financial Aid Appeals Board, and granting tenure to all Black faculty members. A 1970 proposal to replace "Negro" with "Black" in University publications is updated in a current proposal to capitalize "Black". Each strike ended in settlement with the University administration and the Board of Regents. BUSINESS 'U' scholars recognized U U (Continued from Page1) have motivated you to excel so far," said Wright, who urged students to keep an open mind while pursuing knowledge. Wright received a master's degree in journalism from the University in 1971 and has since served as a foreign correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor and the Washington Post. She recounted her experiences in countries where access to information was severely restricted and where citizens were executed for having forbidden books.
