Welcome! We’re excited to support you as you prepare for one of the most rewarding parts of your academic journey, your internship experience.

An internship is more than a graduation requirement. It’s an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom, gain valuable real-world experience, build your professional network, and explore potential career paths. Whether you’re just beginning to think about internships or are ready to secure a placement, this webpage is designed to guide you through every step of the process.

We encourage you to begin planning early, ask questions, and take advantage of the resources available to you. The earlier you start, the more opportunities you’ll have to find an internship that aligns with your interests and career goals.

We look forward to partnering with you throughout your internship journey and celebrating your success as you take this exciting step toward your future career.

Sincerely,

Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Department of Health Professions at Metropolitan State University of Denver. We are grateful for organizations and professionals who invest in the next generation of healthcare and public health leaders by providing meaningful internship opportunities.

Our students come from a variety of programs, including Health Care Management (HCM), Public Health (PUB), Health Care Information Systems (HCIS), Aging Services Leadership, and the Master of Health Administration (MHA). Through their coursework, students develop a strong foundation in healthcare operations, leadership, quality improvement, data and information systems, public health practice, policy, community engagement, and organizational management. The internship experience allows them to apply these skills in real-world settings while learning from experienced professionals.
