About Us
Medi-Weightloss Drexel Hill is a physician-led medical weight management clinic helping patients improve their health through evidence-based treatment, nutrition education, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
Job Summary
We seek a friendly, outgoing undergraduate interested in healthcare, marketing, and small business growth. This is a hands-on internship: learn the clinic and its patients, work with our staff, then develop, execute, and evaluate real local outreach projects. The focus is in-person relationship building, supported by practical digital content—not a stand-alone social media campaign.
Key Responsibilities & Measurable Outcomes
Community events: Build a 6–12 month event pipeline identifying at least one event per month. Coordinate and participate in suitable events occurring during the internship.
Business partnerships: Identify and contact 50 prospective local businesses, employers, gyms, healthcare offices, and organizations; work toward 5–10 partnerships or collaborative events. Follow up and maintain an outreach tracker.
Digital marketing: Produce 2–4 monthly posts or updates to promote and recap actual community events and partnerships, using approved materials and messaging.
Patient experience & reputation: Speak with 8–12 willing patients under supervision about their weight-loss journeys, how they found us, and barriers created by stigma. Help develop a respectful, voluntary process for requesting honest Google reviews.
Performance tracking: Report contacts, meetings, events, collaborations, and engagement; present a short summary of results and recommendations at semester end.
On-Site & Local Responsibilities
Clinic immersion: Shadow clinic operations; engage with providers, nutrition staff, and the front desk to understand the patient journey.
Community execution: Visit potential partners, help organize and staff events, and represent the clinic professionally in conversations with prospective patients and businesses.
Project ownership: Take initiatives from research and planning through hands-on execution and follow-up, with guidance from clinic leadership.
Preferred Qualifications
Current undergraduate studying business, marketing, entrepreneurship, communications, or a related field. Social, approachable, proactive, well organized, and comfortable starting conversations with patients and prospective business partners. Strong communication skills and willingness to take initiative; reliable personal transportation for clinic visits and local events. No prior healthcare marketing experience required.
Salary & Incentives
Compensation is $18/hour for 10–15 hours per week over one academic semester; scheduling is coordinated with classes and selected events.
Internship Benefits
Flexible scheduling, direct mentorship from physician-led clinic leadership, exposure to healthcare operations and patient experience, networking opportunities, and tangible project outcomes for a professional portfolio.

About Medi-Weightloss
Headquartered in Tampa, FL, Medi-Weightloss® is a physician supervised weight loss program with over 100 locations nationwide. Our founder, Edward Kaloust, began researching obesity in 2005 while on his own weight loss journey. He discovered that Americans spend billions annually on weight loss programs and products only to eventually regain most of the weight. It was then that Mr. Kaloust dedicated himself to ensuring that his program would not only help patients lose weight but also provide the support and education they need to keep it off.
Medi-Weightloss prides itself on its evidence-based approach to treatment through clinical research. As the industry leader in physician-supervised weight loss, we are committed to making advances in weight management and implementing these advances to develop new therapies, enhance clinical guidelines, and assist with clinical decision-making. Our patients have come to expect not only weight loss success but also quality medical care for their weight related health issues. For more information on the science of Medi-Weightloss, click HERE.
