Summer Associate Program

Our MBA Summer Associate Program is designed for highly talented MBA students who want to test their skills and make meaningful contributions to the world's leading medical technology company. The program gives you exposure to and a better understanding of our core businesses, technologies, and culture. In addition to a challenging 10-12 week internship assignment, you'll have opportunities to network with peers, managers, and our leadership team, as well as experience our dynamic culture though social events and volunteer activities. High-performing summer associates are considered for full-time opportunities in our Leadership Development Rotation Program.

Locations

The majority of our internship opportunities are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota – our World Headquarters. This gives summer associates the opportunity to learn about our company and culture, and provides a sense of community with other interns. We may also offer internship assignments at other major locations in Memphis, TN; Northridge, CA; Santa Rosa, CA; and Tolochenaz, Switzerland. If you're relocating for the summer, we cover your travel expenses to your internship and back to campus, and subsidize your housing costs.
