Summer 2025 Finance Internship Program - Investments

The NewYork-Presbyterian Finance Summer Intern Program educates undergraduate students on the overall financial operations of a hospital. The program is generally designed for those who are interested in the business aspect of healthcare and eager to explore the many facets of healthcare management. 

Within the program, the Office of Investments is seeking a summer intern who is keen on learning about investing and the supporting processes.  The work of the intern will directly impact the investment research and manager due diligence process of the Investments team.  He/she will have the opportunity to attend investment manager meetings, familiarize with specific software and systems and also research current investment topics of interest.  The intern’s work will benefit NewYork-Presbyterian by helping grow the hospital endowment which in turn helps fund important initiatives that directly impact the hospital’s mission and patient care.  NewYork-Presbyterian relies on investment income to fund short and long-term capital planning. The goal is for the intern’s research to be an accretive part of the investment portfolio for years to come.

The Finance Summer Intern program will also expose students to Senior Hospital Administration both within and outside of Investments and Finance as well as provide them with real-world experience in the corporate world. The program intends to create a pipeline of talent for future full–time employment post-graduation.

What You Can Expect

The Internship is an 8-week program based in New York City starting in early June. At the end of the program, students will present their project results to the Chief Financial Officer, Senior Leadership, Project Hosts and their Mentors.
