Company Profile: As one of Canada’s pre-eminent patient care, research and academic health science centres and one of the Greater Toronto Area’s Top 90 Employers, one of Canada’s Best Employers for New Canadians and Best Diversity Employers, as well as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, Mount Sinai Hospital has a well-earned reputation for excellence in the community and beyond our borders.
We focus on three broad organizational goals:
• Patient and Family-Centred Care;
• Increasing our role as an academic health sciences centre and
teaching hospital fully affiliated with the University of Toronto; and
• Enhancing our community health partnerships.
In 1923, Mount Sinai Hospital was established as a 33-bed maternity and convalescent hospital. Today, we are a state-of-the-art, 472-bed patient care, teaching and research hospital, but the reason we’re here has not changed since the day we opened our doors — serving our patients and their families.
Duties: The Communications and Marketing Department is looking for three interns for the Fall 2011 work term.
We would like to hear from you if you are interested in an opportunity to learn and develop internal communications and media relations skills. We work closely with the Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation and the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital. You will have the opportunity to learn more about fundraising and research communications as well. A small honorarium is offered.
In general, projects will include:
• Working with Communications and Marketing staff to execute strategic communications tactics such as writing articles for internal and stakeholder newsletters (print and electronic).
• Writing copy for the Intranet or Internet.
• Assisting our media relations team through media monitoring and, when required, helping update media lists and providing support to media events as required.
• Providing additional communications and marketing support as needed.
• Providing administrative duties as needed.
• Assisting with special events as required.
