Internship Program
Automated Health Systems has an internship program which allows the intern to observe and interact
with many different departments within the company to better understand the contracts AHS administers.
Students seeking a degree in Health Policy Administration or a similar field have an opportunity to
experience how a health service organization functions. However, internships are not limited to only
students majoring in Health Policy Administration. The program also allows the intern flexibility in
selecting an area of focus that is of particular interest to her/him (i.e., Accounting, Information
Technology, Project Management).
"Automated Health Systems offers a wonderful learning environment for a student intern. Through the
interaction with many professionals, you are able to learn not only about the current healthcare
environment, but also the professional world. You are trusted with important projects and much time and
interest is invested in your professional development."

“The internship experience at Automated Health Systems has tremendously facilitated my professional and
personal growth. The essential experience that I have acquired in a mere ten weeks has truly bolstered
my skill set, knowledge base, and confidence level. With the guidance and support of all of the
individuals within the organization, I was able to accomplish numerous goals/objectives, as well as
develop a useful tool for the company. I consider AHS to be a wonderful place to develop a professional
identity.”
-Amanda Beam, Penn State University

“Automated Health Systems offers a unique and real life experience through its Human Resources Internship.
As an intern in a small department, you not only witnesses, but also experience firsthand the fast paced
and always changing field of Human Resources. Automated Health Systems involves their interns in both the
daily tasks of an HR Department and their current projects and programs, giving an intern experiences that
are impossible to gain through a classroom alone. Internship experience is a vital part of a student’s
professional development, and Automated Health Systems provides experiences, knowledge, abilities, and skills
that are readily applicable in any Human Resources career.”
