Summer Administrative Internship Program
Applications due January 28th, 2024.
The OHSU Administrative Internship Program allows undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to experience the healthcare profession through an administrative lens.
OHSU accepts interns to be placed in various healthcare departments across the organization.
In addition to the assigned project, interns will have the opportunity to experience day-to-day operations (e.g., daily readiness huddles, staff seminars and trainings, etc.), as well interact with patients, families and staff through rounds and other engagement experiences.
To support intern growth, development and networking opportunities, weekly lunches with executive leadership will be provided, including an in-depth question and answer session.

They will also receive a pass valid for all Portland public transportation (find out more about transportation options for visitors and volunteers).
