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. In 2024, through our extensive alumni network, in partnership with Maine colleges and universities, we hosted 21 interns at 9 organizations across Maine. We cannot wait to meet our summer 2025 interns!
