Meet Our Interns

We believe that a combination of leadership development, internship opportunities, and mentoring are powerful tools for attracting future healthcare professionals and addressing Maine’s healthcare workforce shortage. This year, we are excited to share that through our extensive alumni network, in partnership with Maine colleges and universities, we are hosting 21 interns at 9 organizations across Maine this summer.
