Healthcare Management Internships

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

The objectives of the Healthcare 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 healthcare management classes within a controlled internship environment.
• apply skills and expertise learned in the healthcare management field by completing a presentation showcasing their experiential learning.
• interact with an assigned on-site mentor to meet regularly to discuss progress, the final presentation, and learning.
