The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.

Dear AI4PH Friends and Colleagues

We are now receiving applications to the AI4PH internship program and we think it might be of interest to people in your network.

As you know AI4PH is focused on building capacity in AI and big data skills for transformative change in addressing population and public health challenges and understanding how these tools impact health equity. The goal is to establish a workforce of public health researchers and practitioners who develop and apply innovations in equitable artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to public health research, policy, and practice in Canada.

We are looking for interns for our inaugural cohort who will work for 15 hours/week for 3-6 months at one of our partner organizations on projects related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and public health and equity. Partner organizations consist of leading public health agencies, hospitals systems, NGOs, and data institutes. Interns will be awarded a $10,000 stipend to support them through their work. Details can be found here: https://ai4ph-hrtp.ca/internship-portal/.

"For thousands of years the land upon which the University of Toronto operates has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land."
