Education for All at Broadway House
July 31, 2006, Newark, NJ – Broadway House for Continuing Care, the state’s only specialized nursing care facility for individuals living with AIDS, offers college and graduate students a unique learning experience. Those students who desire hands-on experience in the social services can take advantage of Broadway House’s internship program each semester. This summer Anupama Bedi (Edison, NJ), who is currently pursuing a Masters in Physician Assistant Studies at UMDNJ, jumped at the opportunity to gain experience from such an innovative medical program. As a recreation intern, Bedi’s responsibilities included assisting with various activities for the residents, ranging from karaoke to physical exercises. Bedi’s Bachelor’s Degree in Athletic Training also allowed her to present information seminars to staff and residents about the importance of exercise for HIV/AIDS patients. She taught the staff of Broadway House how influential and important interns can be when she started a yoga class for residents, promoting relaxation as part of their physical activity regimen. Commenting on her decision to complete her Masters’ project at the facility, Bedi said, “Broadway House has taught me how to be a health care provider in a close-knit community with a large need. They set the standard for efficiency.” Broadway House for Continuing Care, a 74 bed medical facility, is an affiliate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. They also offer internships in Public Relations/Communications, Community Health, Art Therapy, and Substance Abuse. All reliable and professional-minded students are encouraged to apply online. |
