DANKMEYER STUDENT INTERN PROGRAM
2025 Update!
Our office in Linthicum, Maryland will be undergoing renovations this spring/summer. Due to the timing of our renovations, we will not be able to host our student summer program in 2025. We plan to restore the program in the Summer of 2026.
Please check back in January 2026 for further information.
We will continue to provide student shadow days as our renovation schedule allows. If you are interested in spending a day with us to learn more about the field of Prosthetics and Orthotics, please email your request for a shadow day to: academy@dankmeyer.com
We have had the privilege of working with a wide range of students who are interested in various aspects of the prosthetic and orthotic development process. Ranging in age and experience from elementary school to college level, students have worked in conjunction with their school programs and with our patients and facilities to get real-life, hands-on experiences. Their projects have included designing 3D printed upper extremity assistive devices and prosthetic feet, developing educational literature for AFO wearers, and conducting surveys and analyzing patient outcomes.

Additional Resources
Students also often have a personal interest in exploring the possibility of a career in the O&P field. To become a prosthetist, orthotist, assistant, or technician, many schools require clinical hours prior to applying.
