Internal Mobility with Inside Track
We know how important it is to cultivate talent from within Boston Children’s. That’s why we created the award-winning Internal Mobility program, “Inside Track,” which proactively engages and retains our people by supporting their goals and facilitating upward and lateral movement across our entire organization.
Here, Inside Track will enable you to develop your skills, demonstrate competencies in new and different ways, and advance through a journey that’s your own, without ever being alone.
At Boston Children’s, there’s more than one way to get to your goals, and we’ll be there every step of the way.

Three ways to grow careers
Community
Not everyone knows a hospital career is within reach. We work with local organizations to open that door and help people walk through it.
Students
Internships and hands-on programs let students see what a healthcare career actually looks like, long before they have to choose one.
Employees
Courses, coaching, and tuition support that help our people go further, whether that means finishing a degree or moving into a new role.
Creating pathways for rewarding careers
“We’re the guides that help employees to find not just a new role at Boston Children’s–but the right one for them. Careers are pathways, not straight lines”
– Joanne, Senior Internal Mobility Ambassador
“I’ve been at Boston Children’s Hospital for the last 11 years, but I started my journey as an administrative assistant in one of our general pediatrics inpatient units. Over the past five years, I’ve been proud to take on roles in administrative leadership, and Boston Children’s Hospital has given me every opportunity to both learn and grow, both personally and professionally ”
– John, Operations Manager, Department of Pediatrics
