ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The GNYHA Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) is an internship that promotes racial and ethnic diversity in health care management. The program is a ten-week internship during which interns are assigned to senior management staff at GNYHA member facilities to gain firsthand experience with the operations and management issues health care organizations face. 

Selected 2024 SEP interns will engage in, at a minimum, a hybrid (in-person and virtual) experience with as much onsite work as possible. Selected interns should be prepared to work onsite at their host institution at least three days a week for the duration of the internship. Host sites will determine their intern schedule and location consistent with their policies and may require that their SEP intern be present onsite five days a week if desired. GNYHA will also provide educational and professional development programming for SEP interns throughout the summer, which will take place at GNYHA’s midtown New York City office.

The GNYHA SEP is a paid internship. Students are responsible for securing their own room and board for the duration of the internship. 

The deadline for student applications is Friday, March 29, and we will interview internship candidates in early to mid-April. Selected candidates will be matched with a host facility from GNYHA’s member institutions in the New York City area. The internship this year will run for ten weeks from June 3 to August 9. 

Application materials can be found on the GNYHA website: https://www.gnyha.org/program/summer-enrichment-program/

Questions can be directed to SEP@gnyha.org. 

PURPOSE

SEP promotes racial and ethnic diversity in health care management. The program provides students with the opportunity to learn more about the major issues, skills, and responsibilities of health care management. This summer experience will enhance students’ knowledge of the field and better position them for a career in health care administration. Students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups are encouraged to apply.
