Medical Students for Choice Externs

Thank you for your interest in our opportunities at Feminist Women's Health Center (FWHC).

Just like FWHC, Medical Students for Choice® (MSFC) is also dedicated to ensuring that women receive the full range of reproductive healthcare choices. MSFC recognizes that one of the greatest obstacles to safe and legal abortion is the absence of trained providers. As medical students and residents, MSFC works to make reproductive health care, including abortion, a part of standard medical education and residency training. MSFC also works to bolster grassroots networks of support and activism and to reform medical school curricula and residency programs to include reproductive health and abortion care.

We at Feminist Women’s Health Center align with Medical Students for Choice’s philosophy by acting as a host facility for the Reproductive Health Externship Program as well as partnering with numerous organizational programs.

The Medical Students for Choice Reproductive Health Externship Program requires simultaneous applications – you need to submit an internship application (link) and the noted supplementary materials while also applying through the MSFC website.

In order to apply with FWHC, you will need to complete our Internship Application to send along with the following other materials:

1. Cover Letter
