Pre-HES Internship – Computer Science and Communication Systems – 100%

With more than 13,000 employees representing 160 professions, the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) are a reference institution at both national and international levels. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to consult our 2025 retrospective by clicking here .

The Digital Transformation and AI Directorate (DTN-IA) supports the institution's digital transformation. It designs, manages, and develops the HUG information system and plays a key role in developing innovative digital products to enhance hospital performance and quality of care. Its actions aim notably to improve the patient journey before, during, and after hospitalisation, optimise hospital flows, and support healthcare professionals with suitable tools that reduce administrative burden. It also contributes to the development of clinical research and innovation, particularly through the integration of artificial intelligence technologies, and participates in promoting HUG as a major player in digital health.

The Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) constitute the main hospital establishment in the canton of Geneva. They fulfil care, teaching, and research missions and are actively involved in training future professionals.

Within this framework, HUG offers a pre-HES internship in preparation for admission to the Bachelor in Computer Science and Communication Systems at HEPIA.

As a computer science intern, you will join the Flow and Billing team within the Patient Record domain at the Applications Service of the Digital Transformation and Augmented Intelligence Directorate. These applications are deployed within the hospital and must meet high standards of quality, performance, security, and configurability.

In this context, you will participate in the design, development, and evolution of a suite of microservices and interfaces as part of the "Centralisation of Billing Rules" project, which models all rules related to the Electronic Patient Record (EPR). You will become familiar with the EPR and its various functionalities, as well as the methodologies necessary to implement robust, scalable, and reusable technical solutions that promote shared development while meeting the hospital's specific needs. Supported by the team, you will learn and apply development, architecture, and software quality standards.

As part of your objectives, you will centralise all EPR billing rules in a common tool.

You will remove all rules from third-party systems.

You will rationalise the associated maintenance and facilitate tariff catalogue changes.

You will enable super-users to model billing rules.

You will implement a dashboard to monitor service volumes.

You hold a gymnasium maturity certificate or an equivalent diploma and have an interest in information and communication systems. You wish to enter a Bachelor in Computer Science and Communication Systems and must complete a preliminary internship for admission to HEPIA.

No prior professional experience is required. This internship is intended for someone eager to discover the IT sector in a professional environment to gain initial practical experience before starting higher education in computer science.

You know the fundamental principles of programming and have completed various personal or school projects using a common language (e.g., Python, C, Java). You are autonomous in researching documentation and finding the resources necessary to complete your projects.

You are motivated to familiarise yourself with professional methods and tools to develop new skills and consolidate your knowledge.

You demonstrate organisation, curiosity, good interpersonal skills, and autonomy in problem-solving. You also show initiative and wish to apply your abilities in a technical and stimulating environment.
