Summer 2022 Finance Internship Program – Financial Planning

The NewYork-Presbyterian Finance Summer Intern Program educates undergraduate students on the overall financial operations of a hospital. The program is designed for those who are interested in the business aspect of healthcare and eager to explore the many facets of healthcare management.

The program will expose students to Senior Hospital Administration both within and outside of Finance as well as provide them with real-world experience in the corporate world. The program intends to create a pipeline of talent for future full–time employment post-graduation.

The Internship is an 8-week program based in New York City starting in early June. At the end of the program, students present their project results to the Chief Financial Officer, Senior Leadership, Project Hosts and their Mentors.

Business Planning: Help with business plan development related to clinical service line growth and strategic initiatives of the hospital. Understand the clinical aspects to forecast the financial impact of new business to the hospital. Perform key financial analysis to inform the decision makers about the economic viability of clinical programs. Measure actual performance against expectation and work as a multi-disciplinary group to recognize trends and to forecast future budgets. This position provides a unique opportunity to work with many stakeholders across the organization and gain insight into hospital finance and its interdependence with other key operational areas and functions.  Join our close-knit team, and get exposure to management and leadership across all campuses. Give presentations to senior leadership, guiding their ability to make important programmatic and operational decisions for the institution.

HERCULES: Produce analyses and financial reports that assist in the monitoring of the hospital's financial performance. Bring your general understanding of the healthcare industry and experience with working with large data sets to projects needing analysis, visualization, and reconciliation. Engage in ongoing projects relating to the identification of cost saving opportunities, resource utilization analysis, quality/cost analysis, and dashboard creation. Support the team advancing HERCULES, NewYork-Presbyterian’s campus-wide efficiency initiative that reduces costs while maintaining quality and patient experience.

Mentor program: Each intern is assigned a mentor who offers support and guidance throughout the summer. Mentors are hand-selected from the Finance department and help mentees envision and take steps toward the careers they desire.

Hospital tours and volunteer opportunities: To put their project work in perspective, interns are given tours of the various NYP campuses as allowed and are given the opportunity to volunteer several hours a week at the hospital. Operational leaders explain connections to intern projects and provide the full picture of organizational activity.

Exposure to Senior Leadership: NYP leaders across many departments devote time to meet with the interns and share their personal stories, career paths, and invaluable professional advice.

Networking opportunities: From Meet & Greets to lunch sessions, the interns have many opportunities to partake in networking opportunities with employees across the organization.

Team building events: The program allows for creative ways to promote team bonding that fosters the culture of NYP.

The internship is designed for students with a distinct interest in the healthcare field. The internship is not intended for students who wish to pursue careers in investment banking.
