Summer Enrichment Program Host Information
The Institute for Diversity and Health Equity’s Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) is a 10-week, paid internship program for graduate students who have demonstrated a commitment to diversity and health equity through lived experiences and are in the process of pursuing an advanced degree within health care or a related field.
Participants in the program are paired with a health care organization where they benefit from experiential learning, mentorship, networking and the opportunity to learn from experts in the field. Experienced administrators serve as preceptors and mentors, providing support and career advice as well as early-career connections.
The Summer Enrichment Program seeks individuals with a demonstrated commitment to advancing diversity to strengthen the pipeline and build the next generation of diverse executives and leaders in health care.
Host sites are to provide professional development, mentorship, training and education for interns that are placed at their organization. IFDHE will give preference to host sites that are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion; and have the commitment integrated into their work practices and policies.
