Summer 2026 Finance Internship Program- Performance Improvement

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.

What You Can Expect:

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.

Financial Planning - Benchmarking

Channel your top-notch reporting and data analysis skills. Support operational efficiency by comparing the hospital's performance in key areas, like cost, skill mix, and overtime, against peer organizations to identify improvement opportunities. Aid the benchmarking program, create comparison dashboards, provide performance reports, offer training on key performance indicators, and facilitate the sharing of best practices across different hospital campuses. Engage in ongoing projects relating to the identification of cost saving opportunities, resource utilization analysis, quality/cost analysis, and dashboard creation. Benchmarking is integral to initiatives that support enterprise efficiency, which helps reduce costs and improve overall performance. Join our close-knit team and get exposure to management and leadership across our New York City-area campuses. 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. Give presentations to senior leadership, guiding their ability to make important programmatic and operational decisions for the institution. Be the face of efficient and effective financial strategy and help make a life-changing difference.

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.
