Internships/Jobs/Opportunities
The BME Alliance between Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic is offering a Virtual Internship opportunity
(https://engineering.case.edu/ebme/Summer-2020-Virtual-Internship)
this summer for the many BME undergraduate students who have had their plans for internships or summer jobs interrupted by the covid-19 pandemic. The program is available to all undergraduate students with an interest in
Biomedical Engineering. We have put this program together to provide as much useful content as possible in a remote format, and to provide the students with a meaningful credential they can claim for future professional opportunities.
Specifically, the Virtual Internship program will consist of 3-5 hours of participation each week over a 10-week period (June 8- August 14).
