DANKMEYER STUDENT INTERN PROGRAM
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.
We are not taking applications for long-term internships at this time.
There is limited availability for shadow days at this time.
2025 Summer Students!
We provide a 6-week unpaid internship that starts mid-June and wraps up at the beginning of August. During this time, students will have the opportunity to shadow our practitioner and technical staff. Students will also work on an individual project, which is determine by our team.
Our team is currently working on next year’s content. Details about our 2025 program and the application to apply to for our program will be posted here in early January. Applications will be reviewed and final decisions will be made by March 1st.
