Sandlot Internship Program
Sandlot is committed to educating the next generation of professionals entering the field of health information technology. Every summer, Sandlot’s internship program immerses University of Texas at Austin students in the day-to-day operations of managing an electronic medical record (EMR) and health information exchange (HIE). Students follow the daily activities of employees in the areas of Sales, Implementation and Training, Management, Help Desk, EMPI, HIE Systems, IT and Security and other operation groups that are essential to building, implementing, managing, sustaining and supporting EMR and HIE technology.
The internship program is open to two University of Texas at Austin students who are in the Health Information Technology certificate program. To be eligible for the certificate program, students must be a recent graduate from the College of Natural Sciences or an undergraduate with 90+ semester hours and a 2.75 GPA, or have a bachelor’s degree from another university.
