Student Internships

The goal of the LSH student internship program is two-fold:

  • First, the program is designed to give students from colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada an opportunity to complete their required internship in a facility that offers care and treatment to a very diverse population.
  • Second, the program helps create a pool of future employees for the hospital.

LSH offers internship/practicum opportunities in psychology, pharmacy, psychiatry and medical records as well as a Social Service Practicum program.


Student Nurse Program

More than 500 nursing students from programs throughout Kansas visit LSH each year. Community colleges affiliated with LSH include: Barton County, Cloud County, Dodge City, Garden City, Seward County, Hutchinson, Pratt and Colby. Other nursing program affiliates include Fort Hays State University and North Central Area Vocational Technical College, both of Hays; Manhattan Area Technical College and Brown Mackie College, Salina.

Since LSH is a unique specialty institution, there are psychiatric clinical experiences available that cannot be surpassed by other Kansas inpatient facilities. The institution's three distinct programs offer an array of rich educational experiences; students leave with a greater appreciation for mental health issues. Although psychiatric nursing is not the chosen career of every student nurse that visits our campus, every nurse will encounter patients with mental health challenges throughout their nursing career.
