Northwell interns thrive in a collaborative environment supported by leadership

At Northwell Health, we are proud to provide internship programs which promote high growth careers in both clinical and non-clinical professions. Our vast internship opportunities include administration, hospitality, information technology (IT), revenue cycle, and more.

We had the opportunity to speak with some of Northwell’s past IT interns about their journey to a full-time career at Northwell. Our Information Technology & Services (IT&S) team plays a critical role in our ability to deliver exceptional care for our patients and our community. Through our IT Internship program, student interns can prepare for success as an IT professional, while playing a key role in helping us advance IT solutions in strategic planning, deployment, coordination, and integration throughout our organization.

Meet some team members whose career journeys started from our IT Internship program.

Giovanni Ocampo, Senior Infrastructure Services and Management Engineer

Giovanni’s career journey began with Northwell in 2017, when he joined us as a summer intern for the IT security department. During his internship, he was inspired by the encouragement he received from management to pursue his current role within our cellular department as a senior infrastructure services and management engineer, supporting cellular/corporate lines and radio/network router projects.

Today, Giovanni has many accomplishments to be proud of. One of which was the company-wide deployment of our mobile device management (MDM) system, in which securely connected mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets) are provided for use throughout the health system. “I love the teamwork that occurs on big projects at Northwell,” says Giovanni. “We work with so many different teams and departments and to see all of us come together to reach an end goal successfully is truly amazing.”

Rebecca Logan, Project Manager, Departmental Clinical Solutions

Since she started as an IT project associate intern in 2017, Rebecca shared that she was drawn to Northwell because she knew it would give her the opportunity to work in a collaborative environment with supportive leadership.

Today, Rebecca is a project manager on the clinical solutions team, implementing surgical information systems at Lenox Hill Hospital and Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital. Since the start of this assignment, Rebecca has gained more confidence in her ability to tackle challenges and find solutions because she is constantly learning and growing within her role. Once completed, Rebecca is eager to take on more of these complex projects. “I really enjoy that every day is different and that my leaders have always helped me reach my goals.” She also added, “I believe it is very important to be transparent and persistent about your goals throughout your career journey, but also to recognize that teamwork truly makes the dream work.”

Adrian La Rosa, Associate Project Manager, Ancillary Clinicals Service Line

Adrian joined Northwell in 2016 as an intern for the project management office which led him to a full-time position that same year, as a project administrator. He takes pride in his career growth at Northwell and has found his success stems from a supportive management team that helps guide him to learn the industry and move forward in his career.

Now as an associate project manager for the ancillary clinicals service line, he is working on a project to install new ultrasounds at Lenox Hill Hospital in the NICU department. Adrian is looking forward to ongoing opportunities and additional education in the workplace he loves. “Northwell has set me up for success by providing me with a path to further my education, gain hands-on experience, and be supported by leadership so I can achieve any goal I set for myself.” Adrian looks forward to his future at Northwell that encourages creativity.

We are proud that Giovanni, Rebecca, and Adrian found purposeful career paths starting as interns on Northwell’s IT&S team. Interested in a career in information technology at Northwell Health? Explore IT&S careers with us today.
