About the Program

As a Summer Associate, you will have an opportunity to participate in a full-time, 10-11 week summer internship program with a world-renowned health care provider, whose hospitals are consistently ranked on U.S. News & World Report's Annual Honor Roll of America's Best Hospitals. The Summer Associates Program is a highly competitive, compensated summer internship for college students interested in pursuing a career in Information Technology. Whatever your interest in Information Technology is - highly technical to non-technical spaces and everything in between - the IT Summer Associates Program is the place for you! Our program spans multiple UPMC divisions, such as our Corporate Services, Health Services (hospitals and clinical spaces), and Insurance Services (Health Plan) divisions. In the past, IT Summer Associates have worked in areas such as (but not limited to) information security, enterprise architecture, custom application development, project management, coding and testing, infrastructure, Electronic Health Record (EHR) support and strategic planning. The start date for this program is June 2027.

Wherever your placement, Summer Associates have the opportunity to network with UPMC Executives, give back to the Pittsburgh community through the Program service events, receive mentorship, learn through hands-on training and real-world experience, and most importantly, work on projects that make an impact on patient care and the future of healthcare.
