About the Role
We are looking for a thoughtful, analytical, and detail-oriented Clinical Compliance Intern to support clinical quality and compliance initiatives across TBD Investors’ portfolio of healthcare companies. You will work on projects involving clinical policies, regulatory requirements, documentation standards, quality assurance, patient privacy, credentialing, and other systems that help healthcare organizations deliver consistent and compliant care.
Projects may span multiple healthcare specialties, business models, and regulatory environments. You will have the opportunity to research requirements, compare practices across organizations, identify potential gaps, and help translate complex clinical and regulatory guidance into practical tools for operating teams. This is not a clinical-care or observational position. You will take ownership of meaningful projects, collaborate with clinical and business leaders, and help develop systems that can scale as our healthcare companies grow.
What You’ll Do
Depending on your interests, experience, and portfolio company needs, you may:
- Research federal and state healthcare regulations, clinical standards, and licensing requirements
- Monitor changes in clinical, regulatory, and payer requirements
- Review and organize clinical policies, procedures, and compliance materials
- Compare existing practices against regulatory requirements and industry standards
- Help identify gaps in clinical documentation, training, credentialing, or quality-assurance processes
- Support the development and maintenance of compliance checklists, policy libraries, and tracking systems
- Assist with preparations for internal reviews, audits, accreditation, or regulatory inspections
- Research requirements related to HIPAA, patient privacy, clinical documentation, and records management
- Support clinician licensing, credentialing, and continuing-education tracking
- Review de-identified documentation and operational data for trends or potential areas of improvement
- Research incident-reporting, complaint-management, and corrective-action practices
- Benchmark clinical quality and compliance programs across healthcare organizations
- Help create training materials for clinicians, employees, and operating teams
- Translate complex clinical and regulatory guidance into clear, practical recommendations
- Collaborate with clinical, compliance, legal, operations, and company leadership
- Present research, findings, and recommendations to portfolio company leaders
All work will be conducted under appropriate clinical, privacy, legal, and ethical guidelines. Interns will not provide clinical care, offer legal advice, make independent compliance determinations, or have unauthorized access to protected health information.
