CHOP/Penn Center for Machine Learning in Urology

Please note: BGS students interested in pursing an internship are required to obtain approval via the Career Internship Approval Form.

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)/Penn Center for Machine Learning in Urology will support a fully funded, paid 2-month summer research internship for 1 health professional (MD/DO) or biomedical graduate (MS/PhD) student per year. This intern will be fully integrated into the research team and larger CHOP/Penn research community. This will provide a support network that will lead to enhanced participation, learning, and growth over this short summer experience. The intern will be challenged with completing a mentored individual research project exploring the application of machine learning/artificial intelligence to the diagnosis and management of kidney stone disease. Faculty support will be provided by principle investigator Dr. Gregory Tasian with additional support from co-investigators Drs. Yong Fan and Justin Ziemba. We expect that this project will be submitted for presentation and publication. The internship program will run on campus at CHOP/Penn in Philadelphia for 8-weeks from Wednesday June 16, 2021-Wednesday August 11, 2021. A stipend of approximately $4,000 will be provided to cover the costs of living expenses while on campus. The application will include a short personal statement detailing how this internship will fit into future career plans and goals, a letter of reference from 1 current faculty member, and a CV. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply early, but the final deadline for applications will be March 31st 2021. All applications can be completed electronically at https://upenn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_85GIShFCs28n25L. Please contact CHOP P20 Center PI Gregory Tasian, MD, MSCE at TasianG@chop.edu with any questions or for more information.
