Summer Internship Program
The internship experience at the Johns Hopkins Health System’s Department of Operations Integration is a matchless opportunity. The focus of the internship program includes projects to conceive and implement the healthcare delivery model of the future; designing and applying patient-centered best practices; and the integration of safety, quality improvement, and innovative technologies in hospital and health system design and administration.
The combination of three acute care hospitals, multiple ambulatory care programs, a homecare practice, a managed care contracting entity, and several physician/academic group practices offers qualified applicants an opportunity to gain valuable work experience in a variety of healthcare delivery and support settings. Interns work closely with executive leadership, senior clinical, non-clinical, and financial administrators, physicians and nurses to conceive and implement plans and procedures for patient care, business improvement, and program development.
JHHS Operations Integration offers unparalleled leadership opportunities to our interns. Interns expand their skills by collaborating on new ventures, leading and working on teams, and focusing on the fundamentals of project management. Our program is tailored to allow the development of individual interests through project selection, interaction with senior and executive leadership, and participation in a diverse scope of operations.
JHHS Operations Integration offers a flexible, supportive environment in which summer interns are assigned a mentor and a preceptor. The mentor and preceptor interact frequently and regularly with the interns to guide and facilitate both personal growth and professional development during their time at Johns Hopkins.
Eligible candidates will have or be working towards a master's degree in business administration, health care administration, management, engineering, mathematics, simulations, or any related field from an accredited university.
The application deadline for the May-August 2010 summer internship program is January 15, 2010. Summer dates are fairly flexible, and two summer interns will be accepted.
