By assisting executives in cultivating peer networks, understanding key strategic trends, establishing pragmatic partnerships, and developing next-generation leaders, our members are better positioned to lead industry transformation.  

The Health Management Academy offers a dynamic atmosphere with significant opportunities for employees. If you are interested in contributing to a member-centric, creative, and collaborative workforce while deeply influencing top leaders and institutions in healthcare, THMA could be the right place for you!

Position Summary

THMA's Summer Internship Program offers a meaningful and engaging experience designed to foster professional growth and industry exposure. 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. Interns will also take part in the Boost Program, a structured series of sessions designed to accelerate early career development within THMA. 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.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
