Summer Health Care Internship Program Employer Applications Open Until April 7
OPEN
Employer applications are being accepted for the 2023 Summer Health Care Internship Program (SHCIP) until April 7. Nursing facilities, home care providers, adult day services, hospitals, and clinics are encouraged to participate.
What is the Summer Health Care Internship Program?
This program brings students and healthcare employers together, giving students experience in a healthcare environment and employers the opportunity to become more involved in their community.
Participating employers can secure student interns in their settings between Memorial Day and Labor Day for six to twelve weeks. Employers must pay the student at least minimum wage, and then up to half of the intern's hourly wages will be reimbursed through the program.
The Minnesota Hospital Association administers the Summer Health Care Internship Program (SHCIP) on behalf of the Minnesota Department of Health.
How can employers participate?
Learn more about the details of the program with the SHCIP Employer Brochure. Interested employers can complete the employer application by April 7.
