The Interns

The in-Training Writers-in-Training Program is a year-long internship for budding medical student writers. Our interns receive intensive, one-on-one mentoring from our medical student program directors and publish at least 3 pieces during the course of their internship. Applications for the 2023-2024 cohort are now closed. Applications for the 2024-2025 WiT Program are set to open in July 2024. If you have any questions about the program or if you would like to learn about how you can become a program director or writing intern, please contact us at editorinchief@in-training.org.
