“Before my internship, I had no idea what to expect from working in a corporate office. As an intern, I worked on a real project that ended up being used by all of the pharmacists in Encompass Health hospitals. I was able to collaborate with people who had been working in technology for 20+ years, as well as the clinicians working directly with patients. The biggest takeaway from my internship was learning what it means to work in an environment where everyone gets to contribute to improving the lives of our patients.”
Allison Busby, BI/Data Warehousing Analyst and previous intern
In order for interns to network with each other and build lasting relationships, the internship program at Encompass Health includes several after-hours events around the city.
Events May Include:
- A night out with the Birmingham Barons

- Lunch outings

- A farewell dinner
“Although professional development is the most obvious benefit of an internship, an Encompass Health internship is unique in that they ensure that interns still get to enjoy some of their summer. We were taken on numerous outings throughout. Including rock climbing!”

Need More? Here’s what else the former interns had to say:
“My experience as an intern allowed me to ‘hit the ground running’ when I started working as a full-time employee. I already knew the technology and the people I would be working with, so it was like coming back home. I was able to build on what I had learned as an intern and quickly contribute to my team’s success. This made my experience as a ‘new-hire’ positive and enjoyable.”
Allison Busby, BI/Data Warehousing Analyst and previous intern
“The experiences I gained during my time as an intern were invaluable for my career development. Not only was I given the opportunity to explore the inner workings of Encompass Health, but also gained valuable connections with those in my department and the other interns. These connections have been incredibly useful to me as I work on interdepartmental projects in my current full-time position.”
