Summer Internship Program Overview

Baxter offers a robust summer internship program based in Medina, New York, providing meaningful work assignments and projects that immerse students in Baxter’s culture. The program is designed to deliver practical, hands-on experience that reflects what an individual would do in a similar full-time role, with real opportunities to make a business impact. Interns are paired with a mentor, receive guidance and support from their manager, and gain access to the broader Baxter employee community to help ensure a successful and engaging internship experience.

This summer internship is within the Quality organization supporting Baxter’s Infusion Therapies and Platforms business at the Medina site. The Quality team plays a critical role in ensuring compliance, product quality, and continuous improvement across manufacturing operations. Interns will support quality systems, product and process investigations, and improvement initiatives that help ensure the safe and reliable delivery of products to patients.

Project scopes may vary but will focus on quality data analysis, deviation investigation support, root cause analysis, documentation improvement, and continuous improvement activities. Interns will be assigned specific tasks in support of manufacturing quality activities and process or system improvements for existing products. Responsibilities typically involve data collection and analysis, document review, process observation, and collaboration with cross-functional teams such as Manufacturing, Engineering, and Supply Chain.

The intern will be responsible for their individual project while working closely with Quality team members and other site partners. Throughout the summer, the intern will work with an assigned mentor and manager, culminating in a written project summary and a final presentation at the conclusion of the internship.
