Health Services Management Internships

The HSM internship allows students to augment what they’re learning in the classroom with real-world experiences in health services organizations. In addition to being an important requirement for graduation from the HSM program, the internship is designed to be a mutual benefit for students and employers with goals to improve the business in tangible ways.

The objectives of the Health Services Management internship are for students to:

• demonstrate real-time problem-solving and business skills in a health care-related work environment.
• interpret and observe the role, function, and style of middle and senior management individuals in order to learn from them.
• apply and evaluate coursework skills, theories, and concepts learned from the health services management classes within a controlled internship environment.
• apply skills and expertise learned in the health services management field by completing a challenge project for the employer and, more generally, the industry as a whole.
• interact with an assigned onsite mentor to meet regularly to discuss progress, the challenge project, and learning.
