This year, we welcomed 34 interns from across California. They brought energy, curiosity, and new ideas to every project. We invited them to share why they chose to intern at Blue Shield of California. Their stories make it clear: our future is bright with these emerging leaders!
"Blue Shield of California prioritizes being a member-focused company and I wanted to be part of an organization that shares my values. One rewarding experience has been gathering and analyzing performance metrics for our marketing initiatives. It's been insightful to see how data can guide our communication strategies and help us better connect with our members."
"I chose to intern at Blue Shield of California because I wanted to contribute to system-level projects that move the needle on health equity statewide. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been assessing the quality of maternal care for Native American communities and identifying areas for improvement."
"I chose to be a legal intern because of the amazing opportunity to rotate through Blue Shield’s robust legal team. From corporate law, to litigation, to health policy, I have learned a lot about how Blue Shield navigates its relationship with the Department of Managed Health Care, how the legal team works with outside counsel to resolve complex litigation matters, and how Blue Shield iterates its transactional agreements. Through the breadth that this internship has provided, I feel well equipped to pursue any career in health law."
"I am passionate about contributing to the mission of making healthcare equitable and affordable. This internship allowed me the opportunity to delve into the field of cybersecurity, and I have been fascinated by the stories and experiences shared by my colleagues. I’ve really enjoyed working on my project, which focuses on automating progressive notifications to ensure that vulnerabilities are promptly addressed."
"I have always believed that access to healthcare should be a right and not a privilege. This led me to choosing to intern at Blue Shield as my values align with its mission to providing equitable health care throughout California. As an actuarial intern it has been enriching to not only improve my technical skills but also meet other actuaries and learn about the different teams that work together to quantify and predict risk to help create the best insurance plans for its members."
