Description

The UPMC Health Services Division (HSD) Summer Residency is a 500-hour, paid internship starting in mid-May 2020. Working 40-hours a week, Summer Residents will have a unique opportunity to learn and contribute to the UPMC Health Services Division, while pursuing their health care career interests. Summer Residents receive mentorship from Executives and Fellows in the Administrative Fellowship Program. The Summer Residency Program will offer opportunities to:

• Gain broad exposure to various aspects of the UPMC HSD.
• Better understand the role of the HSD as it relates to UPMC and its function as part of a fully integrated academic medical center.
• Strengthen health care experience through work on various projects.
• Observe executive-level meetings.
• Improve management, leadership, communication, networking, and analytical skills.

Each Resident will be assigned to a preceptor at the executive administrative level or above and will be exposed to different areas within the HSD (and UPMC) that lie outside of their immediate department assignment. Upon successful completion of the Summer Residency Program, participants will be invited to apply to the post-graduate Administrative Fellowship Program.
