About the Position: The internship will primarily involve research and writing on a range of topics, potentially including medical malpractice, informed consent, medical experimentation, parents' rights, children's rights, sex and gender, disability law, family law, bioethics, administrative law, medical risk management and medical decision-making. This is a new and rapidly evolving area of law, and there is great potential here for a student interested in working on a writing project or publishable article. AIC is a small organization, and the intern will work closely with the Executive Director. The position is flexible and assignments will take the intern's interests and background into account. Summer interns are encouraged to seek outside sources of funding; if outside funding is unavailable, a stipend may be available through AIC. AIC will assist students in obtaining outside funding or course credit. The project offices are located about 1 hour north of the SF Bay Area. Telecommuting and flexible scheduling may be possible for a motivated intern.
