Job Information:

A one-semester paid graduate internship supporting Perioperative Supply Chain in establishing the first ground-truth picture of consigned inventory across two hospitals. Consignment is the highest-premium inventory the system handles, yet it has never had a baseline count and is not fully visible in the system of record. The intern executes a four-part landscape survey — a physical inventory baseline, a contract-terms audit, a floor-to-book gap analysis, and a current-state conformance study — producing the dataset, repeatable protocol, and findings that make consignment visible and measurable for the first time.

• On-site at hospital locations with reliable travel between them.
• Perioperative and clinical storage environments; ability to walk shelves, reach, bend, and handle product for extended periods.
• Use of a handheld barcode scanner / mobile capture device.
• Adherence to facility access, badging, infection-control, and confidentiality requirements.

• Current enrollment in, or recent completion of, a graduate program in supply chain, business, operations, healthcare administration, industrial engineering, or a related analytical field.
• Healthcare, hospital, or perioperative supply chain exposure.
• Experience working from an established standard operating procedure and assessing conformance to it.
