Biomedical Engineering Internships

Overview

Biomedicine is one of the most complex and technical fields available to engineers today. Only the most dedicated and driven professionals decide to pursue careers as biomedical engineers, due in part to the amount of education and experience required. Biomedical engineering internships are the perfect opportunity to apply your academic knowledge of biology and medicine and to gain hands-on experience in all aspects of the field.

The biomedical engineering field is incredibly broad, and those with experience pursue a diverse array of careers. Whether you’re interested in research, medical devices, clinical work, or all of the above, a biomedical engineering internship is an excellent place to start.

We place interns in remote placements with leading organizations in Europe, Asia, and North and South America, as well as in in-person placements both at home and abroad. Keep in mind that each placement is unique, and is catered to each intern’s academic and professional background, as well as their interests and goals.
