Biomedical Informatics (BMI) - AI in Healthcare Internship

DBMI offers internship opportunities for students interested in exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare.

The DBMI AI in Healthcare Internship provides a structured learning environment where students can contribute to ongoing research projects while developing practical skills in various aspects of biomedical informatics, data analysis, and AI applications in healthcare. Interns will work alongside faculty members, researchers, and healthcare professionals to gain real-world experience in applying computational methods to healthcare challenges.

The programme is designed to provide hands-on experience in biomedical informatics while preparing students for potential careers or further studies in this rapidly evolving field.

*Please note that MSc in Biomedical Informatics students are not eligible for this internship.
