Summer Internship Opportunity @TheBartonCenter (Jul 5–Aug 10) offering hands-on experience in glucose monitoring, insulin management, CGMs/pumps & education while mentoring kids with #T1D. Housing/meals & academic credit. Apply/share! Other openings too! [email protected]
Barton partners with universities to support academic credit and external funding where available. If you know a student who would benefit from a transformative, hands-on healthcare experience, we would love to connect.
Interns gain experience in blood glucose monitoring, insulin management, diabetes technology (CGMs, pumps), and patient education—while also serving as mentors and leaders within a vibrant camp community.
This is an exceptional opportunity for students in nursing, pre-med, public health, and related fields to build meaningful clinical and leadership experience in a mission-driven setting that blends healthcare, education, and youth development. Housing and meals are provided.
The Barton Center for Diabetes Education is currently recruiting for our Summer 2026 Pediatric Diabetes Clinical Immersion Internship, a unique residential experience for students interested in healthcare, pediatric care, and chronic disease management.
This 5-week program (July 5–August 10) offers hands-on clinical exposure in a real-world setting, where interns work alongside nurses, physicians, and diabetes specialists while supporting children living with Type 1 diabetes in a camp environment.
