About The Position

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve.

Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change.

Our Interns join us from a wide range of backgrounds and make an immediate impact working as part of a team committed to developing creative insights, implementing, and designing processes, and driving tangible results. We provide access to the training and coaching you need while you work independently or in group settings to get hands-on experience in building effective relationships and creating solutions for our clients. With a solution-oriented approach, you will collaborate with team members to critically think, and problem solve to execute the implementation of effective processes and strategies for clients. As an Intern, you’ll spend your summer working on a client project with a project team. In addition to client work, you will also get a chance to participate in various team culture initiatives and social events. As a Healthcare Consulting Intern, you’ll aid our clients to evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment.
