C's are a problem, especially since there is a ton of grade inflation in grad school and it takes effort in some programs to get a C. This will def. stand out with internship programs. You will just have to make sure your CV is awesome in other ways and that your grades are consistently good after first year. Beef up your publications and clinical experience. Make sure your letter writers can talk about your research skills (if you are applying to research internships).
