WE ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING NEW PARTNERS – PLEASE REACH OUT BY OCTOBER 31st

We invite public health organizations across Canada to join us in advancing the field of public health through AI-driven solutions. We’re looking for partners interested in hosting interns to work on projects that tackle pressing public health challenges. 

Consider if the following applies to your organization: 

1. You are seeking innovative approaches to address current public health issues.

    

2. Your organization has the capacity to host an intern and provide meaningful mentorship (no AI/ML expertise is necessary to host an intern).

    

3. Your organization collects or has access to data that could help answer critical questions in public health. 

If these statements align with your organization’s current situation, we encourage you to explore this opportunity. We have multiple funding models to support your organization’s participation.  

If you are interested in bringing an intern on board, we encourage you schedule an exploratory  conversations with  Senthujan Senkaiahliyan (senthujan.senkaiahliyan@mail.utoronto.ca).  

Hosting an intern through the AI4PH program offers your organization a unique opportunity to leverage specialized AI expertise and fresh perspectives in addressing pressing public health challenges. By engaging these skilled graduates and the application of AI tools, your organization can drive innovative projects.   

Interns are selected to match your project’s specific requirements, ensuring a meaningful and productive contribution to your project. Additionally, partnering with AI4PH enhances your visibility within the AI and public health communities, as your projects will be featured on our website and promoted through our extensive network and social media channels.
