The Summer Health Care Internship Program (SHCIP) brings students and employers together for students to experience a health care environment. Participating organizations employ students between Memorial Day and Labor Day for six to 12 weeks and pay them at least minimum wage. Up to half of the interns’ hourly wages are reimbursed through the program. In 2025, SHCIP provided 117 students with over 30,000 hours of internship experience in 60 hospitals, clinics, and long-term care organizations.

The Minnesota Hospital Foundation is currently finalizing program materials and expect to have the employer application and additional details available on this page by Friday, March 13. Revised timelines for the application deadline and the posting of participating employers will be provided once confirmed.

Investing in Minnesota’s health care leaders, the Minnesota Hospital Foundation, in partnership with the Minnesota chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives, awards scholarships that empower healthcare professionals to advance their education and make a lasting impact on patient care across the state. Applications for the next cycle will open in May 2026.
