Internship Application Summer 2026

This is the first part of the application process for the internship program in biomedical informatics at OHSU.

The Division of Informatics, Clinical Epidemiology, and Translational Data Science (DICE) will be hosting its College Undergraduate Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Internship Program again in the Summer of 2026.

These internships provide full-time experiences in biomedical informatics and data science to college undergraduates students to increase their knowledge and skills in these areas. The program’s goals are to provide exposure to biomedical informatics and data science with respect to best practices, impact of research on medicine and health, as well as possible graduate study and career paths. In addition to participation in a faculty-led research project, the experience will include:
  • Knowledge of the motivations, activities, and challenges for biomedical informatics and data science
  • Skills development in data science through the use of standard data sets and tools
  • Training in responsible conduct of research
  • Student-led and faculty-facilitated health data ethics seminar
  • Summer interns will also attend weekly Informatics Research Conferences and present their research at the end of the internship at a mini-symposium.
The overarching goal of this summer program is to support educational activities that encourage individuals to pursue further studies or careers in research. Due to the funding agency requirements, this program is open to U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents only.
This is a 10 week opportunity with projects starting June 22, 2026. Interns will work 40 hours per week and will be paid Oregon Minimum wage per hour.
