Automated Health Systems has an internship program in which students seeking a degree in Health Policy Administration or a similar field have an opportunity to experience how a health service organization functions. AHS’ internship program allows the intern to observe and interact with many different departments within the company to better understand the contracts Automated Health Systems administers. The program also allows the intern flexibility in selecting an area of focus that is of particular interest to her/him. There is also a choice of projects for the intern to work on, which helps to develop a better sense of the inner workings of the company.

"I feel that AHS gives an intern practical experience in a health services administration setting, and the chance to work with various professionals to gain knowledge and experience with managed care and health policies. I feel that an internship is vital in the professional development of a student, and that AHS is an excellent organization with which to do an internship. My internship with AHS was a great learning experience that will help me with my future career goals."

“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 first hand 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, knowledges, abilities, and skills that are readily applicable in any Human Resources career.”
