About The Position

Aledade is recruiting for 2026 Summer Interns! Interns ​receive​ guidance​ ​from​ senior​ ​leaders​ and​ ​take​ ​part​ ​in​ ​substantive, hands-on​ ​projects​ ​that​ ​foster​ an understanding​ ​of​ ​overall​ ​operations​ ​at​ ​Aledade​ ​and​ ​the​ ​function​ ​of our​ ​complex​ ​healthcare​ system​ ​in​ ​general.​ This internship will begin on June 1st, 2026, and last for 10 weeks until August 7th, 2026.

The Contracting Operations intern will play a vital role in the MSSP Application Process.

They will also step in to assist with sending reshuffle PAs to our existing practices -- this is high volume, time sensitive work that requires extra hands.

Attend​​​ ​meetings​ with a cohort of other Interns where​ ​you​ ​will​ ​hear​ ​from​ ​leaders across​ ​the company, participate in professional development programming, and touch base with other Interns.
