Walmart Healthcare Research Institute MBA Internship
The Walmart Healthcare Research Institute MBA Internship is a highly selective opportunity to work on challenging and impactful projects to drive access and awareness for our communities into clinical research. WHRI is a high-growth team that will provide interns with experience in learning how to build scalable and sustainable operations to a nascent business with an intentional focus of building deep integration to Walmart’s retail flywheel. As Walmart continues to adapt alongside shifting customer and patient preferences, we need a robust pipeline of talented leaders with the strategic, analytical, and change management skills to deliver on our mission: to help people save money so they can live better. Within WHRI, that also means being able to help transform how research is delivered into communities to ensure studies reflect those patients who bear the burden of disease, and we can help support delivery of safer, more effective treatments. The WHRI MBA internship program is an important way Walmart builds that pipeline. Successful completion of the internship program provides a direct opportunity to secure full-time placement.
What you can expect from the internship program:
Placement on one of our Healthcare Research Institute teams (Clinical Solution Design & Strategic Growth, Operations Transformation, and Research Execution). All internship placements will be based in Bentonville.
Opportunity to lead a project throughout the 10-week summer assignment. We work hard to identify meaningful, well-scoped projects with great leaders to help you deliver value and own a process end-to-end during the summer. Past internship projects examples include utilizing AI to identify high-risk undiagnosed patients for participation in clinical research and omni-channel patient engagement strategy.
Conduct data analysis, analyze and improve upon existing operations, build robust financial and/or analytical models, and drive strategic insight.
Gain exposure to senior leaders through executive roundtables, CMO speaker series, mentorship, and end of summer project presentations.
Develop a strong peer networking with your Health & Wellness and Walmart US intern cohort and program alumni through a variety of evening and weekend social activities that will allow you to explore all that Northwest Arkansas has to offer.
Engage in cohort-wide developmental opportunities to sharpen skills, build core competencies, and expand your holistic knowledge of the Walmart business.
