Due April 8 - Employer Applications for Summer Health Care Internship Program

Posted on March 24, 2022 by Jonathan Lips

Employer applications are being accepted for the 2022 Summer Health Care Internship Program (SHCIP). Hospitals, clinics, nursing facilities, home care providers and adult day services facilities are encouraged to participate on behalf of qualified students in their community.

The internship program benefits students by allowing them to explore health care careers and gain experience in a health care setting. The initiative is also an excellent opportunity for health care employers to become more involved in their communities and get to know future healthcare professionals.

Up to half of an intern’s wages are reimbursed through a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health’s Office of Rural Health and Primary Care. The grant is administered by the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA).

The employer application form is available on the MHA website. The application deadline is April 8 at 5 p.m. For more information on the Summer Health Care Internship Program, visit the MHA website or contact Kimberley Huntington, Summer Health Care Internship program coordinator.
