NYU Langone's Division of Medical Ethics offers internships for high school and college students. Interns collaborate on ongoing projects with faculty and participate in division activities in research ethics, sports ethics, transplant ethics, allocation of medical resources, and clinical ethics.

High School Internships

The High School Bioethics Project internships introduce students to the central concepts of bioethics. Students from all schools are encouraged to apply. Interns have the opportunity to engage with professionals in bioethics, public health, healthcare, the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, patient advocacy, law, and other areas, and develop potential mentor relationships that can continue beyond the internship.

The High School Bioethics Project is supported by a grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.

Eligibility and Application

The High School Bioethics Project is offering two 8-week internships for juniors for fall 2025. The program runs October 10 to December 10, and applications will be accepted September 17 to September 30 only.

You can find details about the program and instructions for how to apply in our internship announcement, although you will not be able to apply before September 17. Thank you for your interest in the High School Bioethics Project.

Undergraduate Internships

The undergraduate internship program is on hold while we secure funding for the program. Please check back here occasionally for updates.

The internships, when available, are with our Working Group on Pediatric Gene Therapy and Medical Ethics (PGTME) and Working Group on Compassionate Use and Preapproval Access (CUPA).
