The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Diversity Summer Internship Program
		Boston Regional Office

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 
(CMS) is sponsoring a Diversity Summer Internship 
Program to enhance students' knowledge of CMS 
programs, mission, vision and goals. 
Additionally, the program seeks to familiarize 
participants with Federal, state and local health 
care programs aiding underserved and uninsured 
populations.  This 12-week program is offered to 
college/university students.
Eligibility Criteria:
In order to qualify, students must meet one of the following requirements:

	A student of Asian American and Pacific Islander descent.

	A student attending a Hispanic serving 
institution or of Hispanic descent.


	A student attending a historically Black 
college and university, or a Tribal college and 
university.
Only applications from students who are U.S. 
citizens will be accepted for this program.  All 
applicants must have a GPA of at least 3.0 and a 
minimum of 60 credits as of May 21, 2005, in 
majors relating to the health care and/or 
management field (e.g. computer science, business 
administration, allied health, health science, 
accounting, social science and/or statistics).
Application Process:
A student's application package must contain a 
detailed résumé and an official transcript. 
Students are encouraged to complete the 
Department of Health & Human Services Applicant 
Background Survey and submit it with their 
application package. Students must also indicate 
on their application the date they will be 
available to begin the program, if selected. 
Employment site preference(s) should be indicated 
on the student's resume (see options below).
Salary and Place of Employment:
The salary is at the GS-4 Level, approximately 
$11 per hour for a 40-hour workweek.  This amount 
may be slightly higher in some areas due to the 
cost of living.  (FOR THE BOSTON REGIONAL OFFICE, 
SALARIES START AT $12.52 PER HOUR.)  Interns are 
responsible for their own living arrangements and 
transportation costs. Employment opportunities 
are available at CMS sites in Baltimore, 
Maryland; Washington, D.C.; Boston, 
Massachusetts; New York City, New York; 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; 
Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Kansas City, 
Missouri; Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, 
California; Seattle, Washington; Miami, Florida; 
and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Employment site 
preference(s) should be indicated on the 
student's résumé.
Resumes must be emailed to 
CMSRecruitment at CMS.hhs.gov by Friday, March 18, 
2005.
