The departments maintains a list of internships categorized by due date here. The University of Pennsylvania is also a member of the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Career Alliance. Students graduating from member universities can search BME-AII's national database of summer internships/research and full-time positions, which include opportunities all over the country.
BME-AII's database is accessible by members only. Students can obtain a username and password from the Bioengineering department office.
