Clinical Engineering Internship Program
About the Program
The Clinical Engineering Internship program is intended for M.S. students enrolled in the BME program. It offers an in-depth, rigorous, clinical experience that matches the engineering expertise gained in the classroom. The primary objectives of this intense internship program are to:
- Provide BME graduate students exposure to hospital organization and administrative functions.
- Permit BME graduate students an opportunity to apply engineering techniques to patient care and hospital-based research.
- Provide substantial experience working with hospital personnel, including administrators, nurses, technicians and medical staff.
The internship includes a stipend, full health care benefits and tuition waiver for each academic year. Summer support is also available. Information about this program is contained in the Biomedical Engineering Handbook (PDF).

Internship Opportunities
The Biomedical Engineering Program is pleased to announce the availability of Clinical Engineering Internship opportunities at the University of Connecticut beginning in the fall 2008 semester. This program was first established in the greater Hartford area at the Hartford Graduate Center in 1974 and moved its academic affiliation to the University of Connecticut in 1997. Students accepted into this program earn a M.S. in Biomedical Engineering, which requires a minimum of 24 credit hours of course work and a thesis.
Two-year Clinical Engineering Internships are presently available at:
- Hartford Hospital
- John Dempsey Hospital
- West Haven VA Hospital
- Baystate Medical Center (Springfield, MA)
- Boston VA Hospital
- West Roxbury VA Hospital
- UMass Medical Center (Worcester, MA)
- Providence VA Hospital
- Middlesex Hospital (Middletown, CT)
Activity at these major medical institutions involves an in-depth exposure to all clinical engineering activities.
