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.
