POSITION REQUIREMENTS
Your role in helping us shape the future:
U.S. News & World Report is seeking a talented spring Intern to work remotely or hybrid with the DC-based Health Analysis team to support the expansion of the high-profile �Best Hospitals for Maternity� program. The Intern will work closely with a Health Data Scientist and will report to the Chief of Health Analysis. The successful candidate will join the team at a pivotal time to support the development of Best Hospitals for Maternity in its second year, which relies on online data submissions from hospital representatives and provides consumers with highly sought-after information to make informed decisions about where to safely and confidently deliver a baby. The Intern will gain experience in initiating communications and fostering relationships with hospital administrators and medical professionals, and collecting data that will be published for the benefit of healthcare consumers.
Preferred Qualifications
1. Ideal candidates are working toward an undergraduate degree in communications, journalism, marketing, or related field.
2. Candidates should be outgoing, responsive, and ready to hit the ground running in an external-facing role that involves substantial phone and email communication with healthcare professionals at diverse hospitals across the country. They must be willing to conduct web-based fact-checking and participate in other special projects that support the health team as needed.
3. Ideal candidates are high performers who are detail-oriented and excited about working in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary team environment. They should be motivated to work independently and feel comfortable reaching out to teammates and their supervisor with questions or ideas to improve or support the project.
Job Responsibilities
1. The primary responsibilities of the Intern will be to support data collection for Best Hospitals for Maternity. You will conduct direct outreach to hospital representatives and follow-up to a substantial number of hospitals - ideally 200 or more a week - (primarily over phone). The successful candidate will play a key role in growing our database of maternity measures and engaging stakeholders of hospitals that provide maternity services, building from a database of contacts created in the inaugural year of Best Hospitals for Maternity data collection.
2. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of project and product managers, data analysts, web developers and journalists. You will also have opportunities to interface with hospital administrators and media relations professionals working for hospitals across the country.
3. You will have opportunities to hone their communications skills and develop knowledge of how a journalistic organization collects and uses healthcare data. You may also have opportunities to learn about product development -- including project management systems such as JIRA and client-facing platforms and dashboards -- as well as statistical software, such as R, to begin examining the maternity data collected.
4. You may participate in other special projects for the health team as requested, including preparation of our 2022 edition of the Best Hospitals Guidebook.
