The CHOICES Alumni Network of Interns connects former interns dedicated to reproductive justice and inclusive, comprehensive reproductive healthcare. We foster a supportive community through mentorship, networking, and advocacy, empowering future full-spectrum reproductive health providers and leaders, advancing CHOICES’ mission beyond the internship experience.
CHOICES Women’s Medical Center has a multitude of programs to help develop health care professionals with the best medical knowledge and understanding of women’s reproductive health needs and a passion for serving them. We believe hands-on experience in a top-rated healthcare environment is the best way to do this, and to that end have developed working relationships with hospitals, schools, and organizations to train their doctors, medical workers, and students.
CHOICES Clinical and Medical Interns work with staff as they provide the finest quality care to our patients, as well as become acquainted with community organizations and services we interact with. Medical Education students work with our Education and Community Outreach programs and become knowledgeable about reproductive health issues.

A Note About Our Use of Language: CHOICES understands and respects that not every person with the capacity for pregnancy identifies as a woman. We respect each individual’s gender identity, expression, and experience, and desire to be helpful and compassionate to all who need information about abortion or support. As an expression of this concern, CHOICES initiated the first Trans Health Care Program in New York State in 2016. While we do make an effort to use gender-inclusive language (person/people/they/them/patient) throughout our website, we do of course use woman/women/girls. We do so in order to acknowledge the long history of gender discrimination targeting women, the specialized health care that we provide, our experience with hundreds of thousands of women using our services and the biological reality that only people with uteruses are biologically capable of become pregnant and carrying a fetus.
