Intern - Consigment Baseline & Landscape Survey
About The Position
A one-semester paid graduate internship supporting Perioperative Supply Chain in establishing the first ground-truth picture of consigned inventory across two hospitals. Consignment is the highest-premium inventory the system handles, yet it has never had a baseline count and is not fully visible in the system of record. The intern executes a four-part landscape survey — a physical inventory baseline, a contract-terms audit, a floor-to-book gap analysis, and a current-state conformance study — producing the dataset, repeatable protocol, and findings that make consignment visible and measurable for the first time. The intern's primary responsibility is to gain practical experience related to the operations of a health system. Through this formative experience, the intern can gain insights that can influence an intern's chosen career path. In return, Virtua draws upon the unique talents and interests of the intern to assist in projects and/or operations related to the intern's interest and needs of the administrative sponsor.
