The Summer Health Care Internship Program (SHCIP) is a program administered by the Minnesota Hospital Association on behalf of the Minnesota Department of Health.
The program brings students and employers together to give students experience in a health care environment. Participating organizations employ students between Memorial Day and Labor Day and pay them at least minimum wage. Up to half of the intern’s hourly wages are reimbursed through the program. In 2024, the SHCIP provided 168 students with over 45 thousand hours of internship experience in 76 Minnesota hospitals, clinics, and long-term care organizations.
