U.S. Internship Program
This year, Abbott has nearly 400 interns at 26 sites in the United States across the pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic and nutrition business units. We have interns in various functions from Engineering to R&D and Marketing to HR.
The focus of the Abbott Internship Program is to target and hire the most talented intern candidates from outstanding universities across the globe. By developing a high performing pool of interns, Abbott is able to build a deep talent pipeline for the Professional and Management Development Programs and other entry level hiring opportunities. Interns work on projects that impact the business and provide meaningful professional hands-on experience and exposure to the healthcare industry.
We evaluate candidates on demonstrated leadership competencies, technical expertise, communication skills, academic achievement and relevant coursework. Our internships average between 10 and 12 weeks, primarily over the summer, with flexible start and end dates based on the university calendar and needs of the business.
