Our 10-week internship program from May 27th – August 2nd, 2024 offers research opportunities focused on Imaging and Mechanics-based Projects on Accidental Cases of Trauma (IMPACT), Culturally Augmented Learning In Biomedical Informatics Research (CALIBIR), and many other topics such as: 

• Injury prediction modeling
• Finite element modeling applied to trauma
• Military, sports, and spaceflight safety
• Osteoporosis prevention
• Biomechanical injury mechanisms
• Diagnostics and therapies for cancer patients
• Medical device testing and prototyping
• Biomedical informatics and data science
• Imaging and artificial intelligence
• Development and use of machine learning based algorithms
• Academic Learning Health Care Systems

This intensive summer research experience provides mentoring and research experiences focusing on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics research. We are committed to providing research opportunities to all students, with a special interest in applications from students typically underrepresented within the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. First-generation college attendees and those attending colleges with limited research opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are also encouraged to apply.
This opportunity is also available to master’s level graduate students who have an interest in Biomedical Informatics research. Please contact calibir@wakehealth.edu for more information.

Additional program benefits include: 1-on-1 mentoring, exclusive workshops, research boot camps, & seminars. $5,500 internship pay (pre-tax), on campus apartment-style housing for non-local students, provided shuttle transportation, food/travel allowance, and multiple social events hosted throughout the summer.

Eligibility requirements:

• Minimum age: 18 years old (by May 27th, 2024)
• Completed at least 2 semesters of undergraduate education (by May 27th, 2024)
• Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
• U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. permanent residents, or international students currently attending an U.S. academic institution under a J-1 or F-1 visa are eligible.
  • Note: There are a limited number of spots for international students due to grant eligibility

The main criteria for the selection of summer scholars will be personal scholarship and academic excellence and the match of applicant interests with those of participating researchers. In addition to the completed online application and 1-page personal statements, please submit the following documentation: A complete transcript of your undergraduate study to date, and one letter of recommendation; this may be requested from any of the following: working professional, academic professor(s), an advisor, and/or department chair. Personal references (including family members) are NOT accepted.
