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 2-week paid internships for 10 students this summer. The program will run July 7–18, 2025. Rising juniors and seniors are eligible to participate. You can find details about the program and instructions for how to apply in our internship announcement.

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).
