Project Description
The Department of Biomedical Informatics (BMI) hosts an annual 12-week internship program each summer that provides current undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue research projects under the guidance of research and operational staff and renowned faculty mentors. The BMI Summer Internship is an in-person experience, interns are expected to be in-person Monday-Thursday with remote work possible on Fridays.
Participants learn useful tools and technologies used in biomedical and clinical research. Each intern will have access to weekly program sessions. The first is a skills development workshop or a module which will cover topics such as programming in python, AI, predictive modeling, statistical analysis, presentation skills or ethics. The second is a weekly fundamental knowledge lecture covering the breadth of biomedical informatics. Finally, on alternating weeks, the students will have career preparation panels and a journal club led by faculty within the department. Interns will also gain useful presentation abilities through regular lab and programmatic presentation opportunities, including an end-of-program poster session.
Many students who have participated in this program have gone on to pursue doctoral degrees in biomedicine, biomedical informatics, computer science and electrical engineering or to complete degrees in medicine and nursing.
All student internship positions in the Department of Biomedical Informatics are paid an hourly wage for up to 38 hours per week. OSU students enrolled in summer classes are limited to 28 hours per week. The exact wage is based on academic level and aligns with BMI hiring practices. Many positions have the ability to turn into academic year student employment opportunities.
Application deadline is 3/12/2025 at 6pm.
