Host an Intern
Your organization can host an intern through the Institute’s Summer Enrichment Program (SEP), which places promising young students in internships in health care management, and can give your organization access to up-and-coming diverse talent.
The SEP is open to ethnically underrepresented undergraduate rising seniors, recent college graduates, and first- and second-year health management graduate students. This 12-week paid summer internship takes place in metropolitan areas around the country and provides participants with an opportunity to immerse themselves in a health care management environment. Under the guidance of mentors known as preceptors, students tackle management issues facing healthcare executives and participate in educational didactic sessions at a local university. Since 1994, more than 500 interns have successfully completed the program.
The Institute’s SEP partners include the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA), the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), and the National Association of Health Services Executives (NAHSE).
The SEP can provide your organization with a unique opportunity to mentor tomorrow’s health care leaders today while you increase diversity in the ranks of health care management.
