Clinical Research Intern at Oaklin Lane

Location: Remote
Position Type: Internship
Schedule: Part-time during the academic year or full-time during the summer
Compensation: Paid

Oaklin Lane is building a national leader in pediatric therapy, with a mission to expand access to high-quality care for children and families.

Too many children who need speech, occupational, physical, or behavioral therapy face long waitlists and limited access to providers who accept insurance. Oaklin Lane is working to change that by building exceptional therapy centers that combine outstanding clinical care with thoughtful operations, modern technology, and a family-centered experience.

We are an early-stage, rapidly growing company. Interns will have the opportunity to work on real business problems and help build systems that can scale across a national organization.

We are looking for a curious, analytical, and mission-driven Clinical Research Intern to help identify and translate clinical evidence into practical improvements for children, families, and therapists.

You will research pediatric therapy practices, clinical outcomes, emerging treatments, and models of care. You may also help evaluate outcomes across Oaklin Lane’s programs and develop evidence-based resources for families, clinicians, and The Pediatric Collective.

This is not a clinical-care position or an observational internship. You will take ownership of meaningful research projects, collaborate with clinical and business leaders, and present recommendations that can influence how care is delivered across a growing pediatric healthcare organization.

Depending on your interests and experience, projects may include:

• Reviewing clinical literature related to pediatric speech, occupational, physical, and behavioral therapy
• Researching evidence-based treatments, assessment tools, and models of care
• Summarizing complex clinical findings for clinicians, families, and business leaders
• Supporting the development of clinical outcome measures and research questions
• Analyzing de-identified clinical, operational, and patient-experience data
• Evaluating emerging technologies and innovations in pediatric therapy
• Benchmarking clinical practices and outcomes across providers and care settings
• Developing educational content for The Pediatric Collective
• Supporting surveys, interviews, and other research initiatives
• Helping translate research findings into practical recommendations
• Presenting findings directly to clinical and company leadership

All projects will be conducted under appropriate clinical, privacy, and ethical guidelines. Interns will not provide clinical care or have unauthorized access to protected health information.

We welcome undergraduate and graduate students studying:

• Biology
• Public health
• Pre-medicine or health sciences
• Speech-language pathology
• Occupational therapy
• Physical therapy
• Epidemiology or biostatistics
• Nursing
• Other related disciplines

Prior clinical-research or healthcare experience is not required. We care more about intellectual curiosity, analytical rigor, strong communication, and a genuine interest in improving care for children and families.

Strong candidates will be:

• Interested in pediatric health, development, or therapy
• Comfortable reading and evaluating scientific literature
• Strong researchers, writers, and critical thinkers
• Detail-oriented and thoughtful about research quality
• Able to explain complex ideas clearly
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Proactive, dependable, and eager to take ownership
• Experience with literature reviews, statistics, research methods, or data analysis is helpful but not required.

• Hands-on experience conducting research in a real healthcare organization
• Exposure to pediatric therapy, clinical outcomes, and evidence-based care
• Ownership of projects with potential impact on children, families, and clinicians
• Direct interaction with clinical and company leadership
• Experience translating research into practical recommendations
• Insight into careers in medicine, clinical research, therapy, public health, and healthcare entrepreneurship
