Week 8, Day 4

Happy Thursday everyone and this is the final week of our Concussion Alliance Summer 2022 Internship Program! We all hope that your projects are smoothly transitioning onto the website and beginning the final stages of editing, review and publishing for Thursday and Friday’s Project Showcase! We’re all super proud of all of you and we’re excited to see all your hard work being presented!

This week we’ll be conducting some final exit interviews that include a final internship exit survey. Appointment slot opening can be found in Slack under “General”. Thank you all for a wonderful discussion with the faculty from the University of Washington and for an awesome A Delicate Game Discussion to wrap up our Concussion Alliance curriculum! We will finalize the week with the remining exit interviews, our final sub-cohort check in and social hour and the Concussion Alliance Showcases today and Friday 8/5!

Your PM’s will also reach out with each partner project individually to set-up meetings times to check-in and review progress or if there’s any questions!

There are a couple tasks for today:

If you feel comfortable, please consider recording a 45-60 second selfie video about your experience with the internship! We use the videos on our internship page of the website, for fundraising so that we can continue to run this program, and for recruiting next year’s cohort of interns. We need your help!

We are also working on another video project with the working group we are part of that wants to record 15 second videos to circulate before the 6th Consensus In Sport Group meeting. The theme of the videos is “This is what we’d be telling you if you’d just listen” to remind the CISG about patient perspectives and research perspectives that may not be reflected in the CISG consensus statement process. Please consider recording a video if you’re comfortable.

Here are the thank you letters that need to be completed. If you haven’t finished yet please make sure to get them done so that we can send them out as soon as possible:

Dr. Alice Theadom Thank You Letter

Hana Walker-Brown Thank You Letter

Dr. Dirk Keene Thank You Letter

Dr. Amber Nolan Thank You Letter

Bob and Linda Dahl Thank You Letter

Please complete this anonymous Internship Exit Survey before your exit interview. It’s fairly in-depth and comprehensive, so make sure to set aside some time for it.

Here are some reminders for this week’s work:

Projects

  1. All of your work needs to be moved into the project folders (links, outlines, etc.)

  2. Update in the project channel when you have a section of your draft ready for feedback

  3. You should aim to be working on your Squarespace page today – it’s okay if you don’t have a complete draft when you’re moving to Squarespace, but you want to give yourself time to adjust to the website creation process.

Meetings

Appointment slots to meet with Conor for Exit Interviews are now posted! You can check for times in Slack under “General”!

Social Hour/ Cohort Check-In

Today’s check in will be in sub-cohorts for 15-20 minutes. The remainder of the hour will be our final social hour!
