Staten Island University Hospital offering paid internship program, EMT scholarships

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) has announced two programs aimed at fostering the next generation of health-care professionals: The Executive Healthcare Internship (EHI) program and the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) scholarship program.

Executive Healthcare Internship (EHI)

SIUH is now accepting applications for the Executive Healthcare Internship (EHI), a paid summer program designed for current college juniors and seniors with ties to the Staten Island community.

This unique internship offers students the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in health-care administration and operations through mentorship and project-based learning.

It will take place from June 2 though Aug. 8, 2025. The application deadline is Friday, Dec. 2.

Participants in the EHI program will work closely with a director-level mentor on projects that encompass hospital operations, project management, financial analysis and community outreach.

Interns will also attend hospital-wide meetings and didactic learning sessions, concluding the internship with a final presentation to executive leadership.

“This is an invaluable opportunity for students with a passion for healthcare management to immerse themselves in the fast-paced environment of one of New York State’s leading healthcare providers,” said an SIUH spokesperson.
