Testimonials

I enjoyed my interactions with my mentor and supervisor as well as other Jazz employees, and working in Pharma, which was a new learning experience. I was able to contribute my Python skills as well as grow skills within Biostats; it was a mutually beneficial experience. I had a lot of great support throughout my internship.
— Intern, Summer 2022

As a Mentor, this was a rewarding experience for me. I have mentored students in the past; it was refreshing to have this opportunity again—especially knowing your support was available, as needed.
— Jazz Mentor, 2022

It was very heartwarming to see [my intern] blossom and gain confidence during the course of her internship. [She] also took constructive feedback well and implemented changes right away. This really showed professional maturity.
