Baxter’s U.S. Internship Program provides interns with 12 weeks of supervised and practical work experience that is directly related to their academic studies and career goals. The program averages more than 100 students each year in areas such as, finance/accounting, engineering, information technology, manufacturing, packaging, research and development, marketing and regulatory affairs. After completing the Internship Program, many interns are hired as full-time employees.
