GROW RegenMed Internship Program

About GROW

Providing crucial, early-career paid opportunities in the regenerative medicine sector to talented undergraduate and graduate students

ARM launched the GROW RegenMed Internship Program in the Summer of 2021. Today, GROW provides crucial, early-career paid summer regenerative medicine internship opportunities for talented undergraduate and graduate students whose backgrounds and life experiences have shaped their unique perspectives. By focusing on each applicant’s journey, the program aims to foster diversity and build a community of future leaders in the sector.

ARM represents 400+ organizations in the cell and gene therapy sector that target a range of diseases and disorders. Interns are placed at these companies for full-time and part-time roles for eight or more weeks during the summer to gain exposure to different career opportunities. ARM believes that improving the representation of diverse backgrounds and life experiences through regenerative medicine internship placement at ARM member organizations is fundamental to achieving the full promise of our work.

Hosting a GROW intern has several benefits, including:

  • A streamlined selection process. We take your job description and match students to it; then, provide you with a shortlist of 5 – 10 candidates to interview.
  • Attracting students who are truly passionate about the CGT field. The GROW network of students bring unique personal experiences that strengthen their commitment to advancing the positive impact of cell and gene therapies for patients, healthcare providers, and society. This results in extraordinary engagement and dedication throughout their internships.
  • Helping shape the future of the CGT sector: GROW interns not only gain valuable work experience, but also participate in leadership development programming covering a range of topics from industry challenges to emotional intelligence to networking. This coaching prepares them to become well-rounded professionals who can make a meaningful difference for patients in the CGT sector.
