For over 20 years, GNYHA has devoted significant resources to the Summer Enrichment Program (SEP), a paid internship opportunity that promotes excellence in health care management. The highly competitive ten-week program for students pursuing degrees in health care management—which receives applications from students at colleges and universities around the nation—provides students with experiences in health care administration. SEP students are matched with participating GNYHA member facilities and on-site preceptors who ensure that the students learn about the major issues, skills, and responsibilities involved in day-to-day management of health care facilities.

SEP Interns gain a unique insight into the inner workings of GNYHA member hospitals and health care systems from the perspective of senior leadership. Each student will be assigned a hospital operations project that matches their interests.
