Stanford AIMI embraces inclusion, integrity, diversity, and team-science as pillars for success. We encourage students from all backgrounds to apply, particularly students from groups under-represented in AI, including, but not limited to, first generation students, students from varying socioeconomic backgrounds, students with disabilities, students who are members of federally recognized tribes, students who have been underrepresented in the field on the basis of gender identity or expression of sexual orientation, or students with work, educational, or life experiences that contribute to the diversity of the field of AI in medicine. Applications are open to individuals of all backgrounds and will be reviewed and selections made in conformance with applicable law.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is there an application fee?
There is no fee to apply to or participate in this program.
How many students will be accepted into the program?
We anticipate accepting around 50 students for our 2024 Summer AI Bootcamp.
Do you accept applications after the March 31 deadline?
We receive a high volume of applications during the application period and are not accepting any additional applications past the deadline.
Are international students able to participate?
Due to the overwhelming number of applications we receive, the 2024 program will be geared towards students residing in the US. We invite international students to participate in our year-round NextGen webinar series.
Can students include letters of recommendation in their application?
Letters of recommendation are not a requirement to complete the application and therefore may not be considered during the selection process.
Why do I get an error message when trying to access the application link?
You are likely logged into a Google account from an organization that does not allow you to share files outside of your organization. Please double check this setting and if the problem persists, try submitting from a non-restricted account.
I do not have any coding experience. Can I apply for the Summer AI Bootcamp?
Yes, no experience in coding is necessary for participating in the AI Bootcamp. We do, however, encourage students with strong coding backgrounds and who are curious about applications of their technical skills in medicine and healthcare settings to also apply for the AI Bootcamp!
What is the difference between the Summer Research Internship and Summer AI Bootcamp?
The Summer Research Internship geared towards students with strong technical skills and is more project-focused, as students are tasked with solving a practical problem in the AI in medicine space with little guidance. The Summer AI Bootcamp is geared towards learners of all levels who are interested in learning about the fundamentals of machine learning in healthcare, and will be more lecture- and discussion-focused.
Can I apply for both the Summer Research Internship and Summer AI Bootcamp?
Yes, you may apply for both. If you apply for the Summer Research Internship, you may indicate at the end of the application that you would like to also be considered for the Summer AI Bootcamp, with no an additional application required. Students who apply to the AI Bootcamp this way will be considered equivalent to those who applied to just the Summer AI Bootcamp. If you are only applying for the Summer AI Bootcamp, the Summer AI Bootcamp application is required.
Are AIMI Summer Programs credit-bearing?
Participation in AIMI Summer Programs is not credit-bearing, meaning that completion of either programs will not directly contribute towards fulfilling academic requirements or earning course credits toward graduation. Instead, it serves as an enrichment opportunity aimed at fostering additional skills and experiences outside the traditional academic curriculum.
