Our award-winning culture is collaborative, innovative, and science based. If you have a passion for challenges and the opportunities that lay within them, you'll thrive as part of the Amgen team. Join us and transform the lives of patients while transforming your career.
What You Will Do
Let's do this. Let's change the world. During this program, you will have the opportunity to partner with Amgen's US Value and Access leaders and experience our mission-driven culture firsthand.
U.S. Value & Access plays a critical role in helping patients access Amgen medicines. Our teams develop strategies that address how medicines are priced, covered, reimbursed, and made accessible within the U.S. healthcare system.
As a summer intern, you will join a U.S. Value & Access team and take ownership of a project tied directly to a current business priority.

Throughout the summer, you will gain hands-on experience with the U.S. healthcare system and biotechnology industry while building analytical, financial, strategic problem-solving, and communication skills. Each intern will benefit from the support and guidance of their manager, assigned mentor, teammates, fellow interns, recruiting team members, and the greater Amgen community. Upon successful completion of the summer experience, interns will be evaluated for a full-time position post-graduation.
