Summer Administrative Internships


Through our Administrative Internship Program, you'll discover how our clinical innovation extends into our operations and administrative settings.  Every Summer, we welcome 40-50 graduate and undergraduate students for 8, 10, or 12-week, paid internships to gain hands-on experience that complements your academic learning.  Our administrative internship program is specifically designed for students that want to learn about healthcare operations and leadership.  We match each intern to a department, where a preceptor guides day-to-day work.  Our program also includes dedicated time for profesional development through seminars with our thought leaders, networking events, career tips, and social events.

Qualifications
Graduate experiences that are part of our formal Summer Administrative Internship Program are designed for students that want administrative (not clinical) training.  Generally, we find that students pursuing master's degrees in health administrative, public health, the social sciences, and business, align well to our program.  We're open to many different backgrounds as long as your interests and skill sets align with our departmental needs.  If we have a need for specialty skill sets like studio art or architecture (we sometimes do when we renovate spaces!), we'll make sure to list them on our applications when they are opened each year.
