NYU Langone's Section of Medical Ethics offers internships for high school and college students. Interns collaborate on ongoing projects with faculty and participate in section 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.

The High School Bioethics Project is offering one 8-week internship for juniors for spring 2026. The program runs March 16–May 8 10. Applications must be received by Feb. 13, 11:59pm ET.
