The Mi4 Summer Internship Program at CHOC gives students the unique opportunity to explore the future of healthcare — invaluable experience for anyone interested in or exploring the health care field. The interns learn to problem solve and create solutions unique to hospitals. Through the opportunities provided within the internship, students are immersed in several emerging areas that are relevant to the future practice of pediatric medicine:

• genomic medicine and personalized medicine

• regenerative medicine and stem cells

• nanomedicine

• robotics and robotic surgery

• artificial intelligence and big data

• medical devices and mobile technology

• innovations in healthcare delivery

Build robots, solve real world problems, and work next to scientists at cutting edge DoD Laboratories and Centers.

The Division of Medical Ethics offers two paid internships to provide undergraduate scholars from populations who have historically had low representation in bioethics with an immersive research experience in the field. We seek interns who have not necessarily had classroom or workplace experience in bioethics, but who have related interests and are interested in conducting academic research.

The undergraduate internships are available with our Working Group on Pediatric Gene Therapy and Medical Ethics and Working Group on Compassionate Use and Preapproval Access. Applicants can apply to one or both internships.

Please contact Cara Hunt at cara.hunt@nyulangone.org 

in May if you are interested in a fall 2022 internship with this working group.

The #RAREis Scholarship Fund was established in 2020 to help young adults with rare diseases to pursue their dreams through education. Thanks to the support of the #RAREis program by Horizon Therapeutics, The EveryLife Foundation is pleased to announce its third year of the #RAREis Scholarship Fund, a scholarship dedicated to the rare disease community. The #RAREis Scholarship Fund will award up to 53 $5,000 scholarships for the Fall 2022 semester. The scholarship application is open today, March 18 through April 22, 2022 at rarescholarship.org

The #RAREis Scholarship is available to applicants who are: 

• Over the age of 17 

• Residents of the United States 

• Diagnosed by a physician as having any form of rare disease regardless of treatment status. Undiagnosed patients are also encouraged to apply.  

• Must be planning to enroll full-time or part-time in undergraduate or graduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical/trade school for the Fall 2022 semester. There is no minimum amount of credit hours to be part-time

Thanks to a generous donor, ASCPT is offering a FREE membership for young adults to learn more about the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics.  This highly esteemed organization is able to help provide educational opportunities, including networking, research, and other key participatory options.  Join today!  https://www.ascpt.org/Member-Services/Member-Tools/Join-ASCPT

It is estimated that more than 30 million Americans are living with one or more rare diseases, the majority of which are diagnosed in childhood. While scientific innovation offers much promise, still more than 93% of the 7,000 known rare diseases have no FDA-approved therapy. Yet, improvements in diagnostics, clinical care, and therapeutic interventions are transforming pediatric rare diseases into ‘pediatric-onset’ rare diseases and young adults are thriving decades into adulthood. However significant gaps remain as resources to support the transition to adulthood is often overlooked, leaving individuals feeling alone or isolated. The community relies on the resources available to them to help navigate benefit eligibility, the healthcare system, securing and managing caregivers, mental and emotional support, advocacy opportunities, and the general day-to-day challenges that may arise.

Although many resources exist, opportunities for cross-collaboration do not. The Young Adult Representatives of RDLA (YARR) would like to convene partners focused on serving young adults within the rare space. The Young Adult (YA) Coalition will serve as a platform for organization awareness, collaboration and problem solving so that we can all better support young adults with rare diseases.

Virtual Internship, Based in Italy

Digital and social media represent an important source for gathering
and sharing information; specifically for health-related information. Early
research indicates that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of social media users accessed science and technology content through social media. This is even more true when it comes to young people and teenagers, whose social media usage rates and the role exerted by social media platforms in their everyday life are much wider than those of the general population.

This position will provide a hands-on, participatory understanding of the global Clinical Research process, while offering further learnings in understanding global patient/provider needs, along with offering letter(s) of reference at internship completion. This internship is not paid.

CHOC's MI3 is currently accepting applications for their summer internship through the end of the month. This is an amazing opportunity for college students interested in healthcare, data science and biomedical engineering fields.

The Pediatric Gene Therapy & Medical Ethics (PGTME) and the Compassionate Use and Preapproval Access (CUPA) working groups, housed in the NYU Grossman School of Medicine Division of Medical Ethics, are thrilled to announce our undergraduate internships for the fall 2022 semester!

Undergraduate internships provide a paid opportunity for rising juniors and seniors to be exposed to real-world medical ethics research in a fast-paced academic setting. 

We encourage applications from candidates who will contribute to the diversity of the NYU Langone Health community and support our commitment to access and inclusion, as we seek to support the diversification of the bioethics workforce through early exposure of students to ethical issues and careers. Previous ethics coursework/experience is not required, but applicants should have an interest in medicine, public health, bioethics, genetics/genomics, rare diseases, philosophy/history of medicine, medical decision-making, or patient advocacy. Applicants must be fluent in written and spoken English and either be a US citizen or hold a working visa.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a student to work on a collaborative team of bioethicists, clinicians, patients and patient advocates, and members of the biopharmaceutical industry. For 10 hours per week, the intern will assist with research and administrative duties under the supervision of a working group project manager. Interns will become familiar with pertinent and real-world ethical issues and will hone their own research capabilities. Interns will also learn about potential careers and opportunities in the broader field of bioethics. 

Applicants should submit the following to cara.hunt@nyulangone.org by JUNE 17th @ 11:59 PM EDT:

1) Resume/CV

2) 1-page statement of interest

3) Writing sample of up to 4 pages (bioethics or health-related topics encouraged)

Please direct all questions to Cara.Hunt@nyulangone.org.
