This experience is designed for learners in the Healthcare Administration program to apply their acquired knowledge and skills in real-world settings. Participants will engage in a capstone project within a healthcare agency, allowing them to connect classroom concepts to practical applications. Learners will develop competencies in project management, teamwork, and leadership, while also enhancing their professional communication skills. This experience aims to prepare learners for entry-level administrative roles in healthcare organizations by providing hands-on exposure to the healthcare administration field.

Elevate your organization in the public health sector with the assistance of undergraduate and graduate-level student interns from National University (NU). Our program offers a diverse group of working adult students who bring valuable skills to enhance your public health related practices. Collaborate with our interns who possess knowledge across the specializations of Health Promotion, Community Mental Health, and Healthcare Administration, where they will work remotely on a main project or smaller initiatives for 8-12 weeks. Important Note: We accept projects on a rolling basis as student cohorts become available.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from National University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the term connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program will be introduced to the concepts of human resources in healthcare organizations, such as training, motivation and direction. Elements of employee selection, compensation, financial incentives, work standards, and leadership principles in healthcare organizations are considered.

Students can develop business plans which can be used to acquire capital and to guide operations. An important element of a successful plan is to demonstrate the viability of the venture. A business plan usually includes a clear statement of the nature of a business venture, the business opportunity, the steps to be taken to capitalize on the opportunity, and the financial requirements. For acquiring capital, the business plan creates a clear, coherent, persuasive argument on behalf of the business. For guiding the operations, the plan is also clear and coherent as it provides specific guidance for the business. Please note: Projects will be a better match for our students when the industry sponsor already knows the opportunity and is looking for student consultants to vet an existing idea rather than having students come up with the product idea or market niche on their own.
