Sanford Arts is an Integrative Health program housed within the Cancer Center at Sanford USD Medical Center, in Sioux Falls, SD. As a student intern your primary obligation and privilege will be to work with patients, caregivers, and sometimes staff creating projects and works of art. Each opportunity to meet with a participant is unique giving you the ability to use your skills and flexibility to discover new abilities in yourself and with whom you work. Your interactions with participants are meant to provide a deviation from any normal visit, in that you are providing opportunities to gain a skill, develop mastery, reduce nervousness, ultimately working for an improved experience. All work is with the arts and within the medium you know and love.

This internship may also serve as in introduction to an Expressive Therapies internship. You will not be seeing clients in the same manner as in a therapeutic relationship, however many aspects to this internship serve as introductory components to Expressive Therapy practice in a healthcare setting.
