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.
Graduate Students
Description
Each year we have opportunities for graduate students to join our organization for the Summer. The specific departments with intern spots change each year based on what special projects we have in our organization. Projects are typically related to strategic plans and operational improvements in the department. Due to COVID-19, some of our internship experiences in 2023 may be virtual. We will ask about in-person or virtual preferences in the phone screen. We also offer the following benefits to our graduate interns:
Paid Internship
Assigned preceptor for day-to-day work
Mentorship from intern program managers
Professional development, including career tips and networking opportunities
Small group leadership exposure
Social activities to build community with your fellow graduate interns
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.
