With an increasingly multicultural population, diversity and cultural competency issues in U.S. health care have become even more critical.  The Institute’s Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) is helping by building a pool of diverse future leaders.

The SEP gives graduate students in health administration real-world work experience.  Interns are matched with appropriate health care facilities for a 10-12 week summer internship.  A volunteer executive from the host organization provides mentoring, support and career advice during the internship.  The Institute supports the interns, and program alumni, with leadership development education and ongoing networking and mentoring opportunities.  The Institute also provides assistance with determining the best match between interns and host sites, as well as orientation sessions for hosts and interns and detailed program materials.

The Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) is an excellent pipeline for developing diverse talent and SEP interns are highly qualified future health care leaders who bring their skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to their host sites and can tackle meaningful work during their stay.
