Join Our Team at Cuyuna Regional Medical Center
At Cuyuna Regional Medical Center (CRMC), we are more than a healthcare organization – we are a community dedicated to making a meaningful impact. For over 60 years we have provided compassionate, high‑quality care in the Greater Brainerd Lakes Area and beyond. Our team is driven by excellence, innovation, and a patient‑first philosophy. Whether you are on the front lines of patient care or supporting operations behind the scenes, you will find a culture of collaboration, growth, and respect.

A Day in the Life of a Healthcare Intern – Surgery
This internship offers practical exposure to surgical procedures, where participants assist in preparing, operating, and turning over surgical environments. Interns learn OR efficiency, supply and equipment setup, environmental sanitation practices, and how to master strict hygiene and safety protocols while managing multiple tasks swiftly and accurately. Collaborative tasks involve working closely with surgeons, anesthesia, nurses, surgical techs, and support staff. The role is dynamic, involving direct observation, participation in surgical processes, and routine cleaning responsibilities.

About the Operating Room Department
Surgery is never a solo act – it requires expert collaboration between surgeons, anesthesia, nurses, surgical techs, and support staff to ensure procedures run smoothly. The OR is a place where focus, skill, and cutting‑edge technology intersect, creating an environment where every detail matters. From the moment a patient is prepped to the final suture, our team is committed to safety, efficiency, and excellence. In a rural setting we adapt quickly, think critically, and perform a wide variety of procedures, making each day an opportunity to learn and grow.
