Biomedical Informatics Internship

3 units

Students will demonstrate how to synthesize and apply the full spectrum of biomedical informatics theories and methods used in the program curriculum. The internship project focuses on an applied informatics problem with relevance to health care research or delivery at the individual or population level, resulting in a report that outlines the student's problem selection and the design, conduct, and results of the student's research. Each trainee will also be expected to present their project and its outcomes or findings in a public seminar, where questions will be posed by both the audience and a committee of faculty members. The specific selection of the internship project track as part of a trainee's degree program is to be discussed with and approved by the individual's faculty and academic adviser. Students who do not enroll in the internship course will enroll in the mentored research course.
