This 16-week unpaid, credit-based internship is designed for college students seeking practical experience in the administrative side of healthcare through immersion in four essential non-clinical hospital departments: Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, and Education. The program provides students with structured exposure to hospital operations while helping them connect classroom learning to real-world healthcare administration. This opportunity is offered in both the Fall & Spring semesters.
