“The Administrative Internship at MGH is a learning opportunity like no other – interns not only get a breadth of exposure to senior leaders across both the hospital and the enterprise, but also a depth of being fully integrated into a department for the summer. It’s an immersive and expansive crash course to hospital administration within a top tier academic medical center at the forefront of clinical medicine and research innovation. I will forever treasure my time as an Administrative Intern and can’t recommend it enough!”

“My time spent with the MGPO PM&R and Spaulding Rehab Associates as an MGH intern proved truly invaluable both professionally and personally. I had the opportunity to lead several projects across different aspects of health delivery that were ultimately implemented into service lines. MGH interns receive unprecedented access to some of the best leaders in the industry who are passionate about passing their knowledge on. I would highly recommend the MGH intern experience for anyone considering it.”

“The Mass General Administrative Internship gives its interns a uniquely personal setting that allows interns to get a true insight into the running of one of the nation's best healthcare providers. It is evident that MGH cares about its interns - Senior Leaders take time to share their experiences and meet the small group of interns 1-on-1. My preceptors entrusted me with meaningful projects that helped me grow as an aspiring healthcare administrator, as well as pursue projects I believed in. If you're considering an Administrative Fellowship, this internship definitely gives you an incredible, concise version of the experience.”

Teaching and Education
“When choosing to pursue an administrative internship in healthcare, I wanted to be part of an organization that would equip me with the right tools to make an impact. From the broad exposure to leadership, my substantive project-work, and the opportunities to immerse myself in all aspects of a leading academic center, my time at Mass General was indispensable in nurturing my personal and professional growth.”

Pathology and Perioperative Services
“Participating in the administrative internship at MGH this past summer was truly an eye-opening experience. I spoke to not only leading healthcare executives, but also renowned physicians and really got a sense of where the market is heading and what trends to look out for as I start my career. Undoubtedly, the best part of the summer was the leadership meetings that Melissa and Doug prepared for us which put us in the room with dozens of C-suite members and VPs of different departments to really understand MGH from a macro lens. We had a leadership meeting just about every day of the summer and it gave me a comprehensive top-down view of the organization. Conversely, as a Perioperative Services intern, I got to see day-to-day operations in the CSPS unit and even got to shadow a lot of surgeries in an effort to find areas for process improvement. As a Pathology intern, I also got to see a lot of on-the-ground operations with specimen preparation and slide technicians to understand MGH from a bottom-up approach. Overall, the internship contributed to my growth as a healthcare leader and I will use these insights as I go through my career.”

“The MGH Administrative Internship provided me an invaluable experience to engage with hospital executives and leaders from across MGB. This experience significantly expanded my knowledge and interest to various hospital departments and settings which I hadn't previously encountered. While working within the Cancer Center, I actively participated in projects across the network which enhanced my skill set and understanding of clinical operations and business development.”

“My time as an MGH administrative intern was nothing short of fantastic! The opportunity to engage in leadership meetings, delve into meaningful projects, and embark on eye-opening system-wide tours truly enriched my understanding of healthcare leadership. One remarkable aspect of this experience is the tremendous visibility I had to hospital and system-wide leaders. Being able to interact with and learn from these accomplished professionals was truly invaluable. Moreover, what made this internship even more special was the sense of family and fun that developed between our internship cohort. We supported each other, learned together, and enjoyed a close-knit bond that made the entire journey not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. This internship has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in shaping me into a confident and capable healthcare leader.”
