What we're looking for

We are looking for curious, collaborative problem solvers who bring healthcare knowledge, learning agility, and a desire to develop practical solutions. Successful candidates are comfortable learning in a fast-paced environment, working with multidisciplinary teams, and seeking and applying feedback.

The internship program starts in June and runs approximately 10 weeks.

This role involves working in person-either at our offices, client sites, or delivery centers-so you can collaborate effectively and build strong relationships with teammates and clients.

Please note that with all of our roles, you should expect to be in-person for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities.
