MBA Internship

SCAN Health Plan’s MBA Internship Program 

Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. 

That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the "12 Angry Seniors." Their mission continues to guide everything we do. 

Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults. 

Our work spans Medicare Advantage, integrated care models, primary care, care for medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity. 

At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen, not dilute, our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve. 

The Program 

The SCAN MBA Leadership Internship Program is designed for first-year MBA students who want to do more than advise businesses. We are looking for future leaders who want to help build and transform one. 

As an MBA Leadership Intern, you'll partner directly with senior leaders on strategic initiatives that influence how healthcare is delivered, how we grow, and how we leverage technology and AI to better serve older adults. You'll work on meaningful business challenges, gain exposure to executive leadership, and help shape decisions that impact one of the fastest-growing sectors in the economy. 

Consulting firms let leaders advise businesses. At SCAN, you'll help build one. 

Internship opportunities may be available across: 

• Market Leadership & General Management 

• Growth Strategy & Operations 

• Corporate Development, M&A, Finance & Investments 

• Enterprise Strategy & Transformation 

• Digital & AI Transformation
