What is a summer residency?

The 10-12-week intensive summer residency placement allows students to apply the knowledge they have accumulated in the classroom to real-world challenges that organizations face. Students pursue opportunities across the health sector, including placements within integrated health systems, academic medical centers, insurers, and a variety of other types of healthcare organizations.
