University Hospitals is Ohio’s second largest health system, employing more than 26,000 people at more than 15 locations throughout northeast Ohio. It is recognized as a national healthcare leader in a number of disciplines and its medical experts are often called upon to offer insights to medical topics on a national and local level.

This is an unpaid, non-employee position to be filled by a college student enrolled as a Journalism or Public Relations major at an institution of higher learning, pursuing this position for college credit.

- Maintain professional behavior at all times;
