Data Entry Intern

The Mesothelioma Center at Asbestos.com (https://www.asbestos.com), is the industry leader for patient advocacy, is preparing for a system migration, and we need a focused, organized intern to ensure our digital records are completed and formatted correctly. The Data Entry Intern will play a critical role in ensuring our Salesforce records are accurate, complete, and structured adequately before we move to our new software.

This is an excellent opportunity for a student pursuing a career in Healthcare Administration, IT, or Business Data Management to gain hands-on experience with CRM systems and data integrity in a professional environment.

• Collaborate with team members to resolve discrepancies and ensure records are handled correctly.
• Handle sensitive patient information with the highest level of discretion, strictly complying with all healthcare data protection and privacy requirements.
• Communicate regularly regarding progress, questions, and data discrepancies. Maintain a simple weekly log of records cleaned and tasks completed.
• Assist with basic administrative or clerical tasks as needed.
• Support ad hoc data projects or cleanup efforts as assigned.

Qualifications:

• Current enrollment in or recent graduation from a degree program in Healthcare Administration, Business, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Strong attention to detail with a proven ability to identify and correct data entry errors (e.g., typographical errors, formatting inconsistencies).
• Comfortable in navigating and managing data within Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets; ability to quickly learn new software platforms like Salesforce.
• Ability to work independently and maintain high accuracy levels while performing repetitive data-focused tasks.
• Demonstrated professionalism with a commitment to maintaining confidentiality and adhering to patient privacy (HIPAA) standards.
