Week 3, Day 2

Welcome to the final week of your Externship! We’ve so enjoyed having you all become a part of our community this December. On Monday, you’ll join us for your second Community Meeting, where you’ll tell our volunteers about the work you’ve been doing the past two weeks and hear what our organization has been up to beyond your externship program. On Wednesday, you’ll hear from expert guest speaker Dr. Alexandra Clark, a TBI Polytrauma Rehabilitation and Neuropsychology Fellow at the San Diego Veterans Hospital/University of California San Diego. On Friday, you’ll have an opportunity to showcase what you’ve learned and done during your externship to an audience of your peers, friends, and (hopefully) some professionals affiliated with our organization.

There are three tasks to do today:

• Please take this Externship Exit Survey. It is fully anonymous and designed both to help you think about your experience and to help you better our program for next year’s externs. The survey also serves as a professional development exercise, as you will likely encounter this kind of exit survey in other programs and your professional career.

• End-of-Internship Showcase and Exit Interview Sign-ups:

  • Exit Interview Sign-Up Sheet

  • Showcase Sign-Up Sheet

• If you haven’t, prepare 1-2 questions for Dr. Clark
