Over the course of 10 weeks (June 8th – mid-August), interns will participate in hands-on projects, executive engagement, and professional development opportunities that will enhance both participation and engagement.
A key feature of the program is in-office collaboration, where local interns will join their teams in person two days per week to build stronger connections and gain hands-on learning experiences.

Additionally, the "Vital Voices" executive sessions will provide interns with the opportunity to engage directly with THMA's leadership, gaining valuable insights into career progression and professional journeys.
To support work-life balance, interns will have a flexible work schedule, working up to 29 hours per week with consistent hours set in coordination with their managers. At the conclusion of the program, all interns will complete an End-of-Internship Project, where they will present a PowerPoint to their teams showcasing their learnings and contributions. More details on project expectations will be shared with both interns and managers as the summer cohort approaches.
The primary objectives of the program are to provide an educational experience, allowing interns to develop new skills and gain insight into the healthcare industry. Through hands-on tasks and real-world projects, interns will enhance their skill development, taking on assignments that are both achievable at their current level and challenging enough to foster growth. The program also offers broad industry exposure, introducing interns to different departments and roles within THMA. Lastly, the program is designed to maximize talent potential, identifying and nurturing high-potential individuals who may contribute to THMA’s long-term hiring strategy while strengthening the overall reputation of the internship program.
