Internship Medicine Excellence
THE INTERNSHIP
What happens when knowledge meets the real world?
This internship gives you the opportunity to put your academic background into practice while developing essential professional skills such as active listening, analysis and synthesis, collaboration and communication.
Join our Human Pharma Medicine organization in Milan and discover Medicine from the inside.
We are looking for an intern to join our Medicine Excellence Team at Boehringer Ingelheim Italy. Your academic background has given you knowledge. Now it is time to discover how to turn it into practice.
This internship will immerse you in a dynamic, cross-functional environment, where you will experience first-hand the professional and interpersonal challenges of everyday work. You will work closely with office- and field-based medical teams, as well as with colleagues from Marketing and Sales.
A key part of your experience will be creating engaging “learning through play” experiences that help medical and cross-functional teams across Therapeutic Areas turn integrated plans into effective multichannel execution.
Along the way, you will strengthen capabilities that go well beyond technical knowledge: active listening, clear and confident communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and the ability to turn complex information into focused, actionable outcomes.
We are looking for someone who is curious, willing to experiment and comfortable learning along the way. Someone who remains confident and grounded in their role when navigating ambiguity, incomplete information or conflicting inputs; who is ready to ask the right questions, challenge constructively, consider different perspectives and turn uncertainty into clear next steps.
Tasks & what you will be learning:
- Support the management of documentation related to Early Access Treatment programs, from preparation and submission through review, filing and record retention. This hands-on experience will help you develop accuracy, attention to detail and the ability to work consistently within structured processes.
- Support Medical Affairs teams in managing evidence plans, using data and insights to improve customer engagement. You will also contribute to the localization and implementation of digital content provided by Corporate, including appropriate content tagging in line with the content plan.
- Support Medical Affairs teams in designing cross-functional customer journeys, aligned with company strategy and business needs, while applying omnichannel best practices to deliver consistent customer experience.
- Support the Integrated Customer Plan (ICP) throughout its lifecycle, helping ensure consistent process governance and continuous collaboration with Therapeutic Area teams.
- Support the implementation of External Expert Engagement plans, including monitoring and checking data quality across multiple platforms.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in scientific discipline (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related fields).
- Native Italian speaker and good knowledge of English Language.
- Good knowledge of MS Office, especially Excel.
- Good team working, collaboration and communication skills.
- An agile and adaptable mindset and a proactive attitude, ready to break new grounds.
What we offer:

- Monthly expenses reimbursement of €1.000 with free access to the company canteen.
- A range of benefits for your physical and mental health (Fitness & wellbeing membership, psychologist, volunteering and more).
- Support to develop your own professional and personal path that will guide you through our full range of development programs including platforms to learn foreign languages and attend professional courses.
- Constant support and interaction with our specialists and managers.
