"As a student member, I became active in HLNY and was able to build relationships with colleagues in nearly every hospital in the region.  The network I built through HLNY was a significant asset to my job search post-grad school."
— Mary Enquist, MPH, Associate Director, Public and Managed Care Payment Reform, NYU Langone Medical Center.

 

The Student Internship Program provides graduate students enrolled in an ACHE higher education agreement institution with an opportunity to apply public and community health academic theory and acquired skills to hospital-based or comprehensive care center concerning operational healthcare challenges and strategic planning issues.

Students’ access posted internship projects through HLNY’s electronic bulletin board, then communicate directly with the responsible department head of the healthcare facility. HLNY Internship experience provides the opportunity for students to integrate theory and practice as a key participant in the “In-house” healthcare project management team.

During 2009, several students successfully completed the project based “in-house” internship program in conjunction with their educational institution.
