Recently, I presented on the effect of exogenous substances on tissue quality and remedies to avoid the production of poor quality slides, one of the four seminar presentations required for my one year internship program in FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTER, OWO, ONDO STATE.  Exploring the effects of exogenous substances on tissue quality is crucial in understanding how our environment and external factors can influence histological samples. By discussing remedies to prevent poor quality slides in histopathology, we enhance the accuracy of diagnostic procedures and research findings, ultimately improving patient care and scientific advancements in the medical field.

Hello! I'm excited to share that I've concluded my 10-week internship at Vanderbilt University's Department of Biomedical Informatics. Looking back, it seems like the summer passed so quickly—yet I have learned so much from so many people. I want to thank Kim Unertl & Rischelle Jenkins for organizing this program and Brad Malin, Nicholas Jackson, & Victor Borza for their valuable mentorship this summer! Also, a special shoutout to my fellow interns for making the summer heat of Nashville not only bearable but enjoyable! If you're interested, here's a very, very, very, quick summary of my project this summer. THE PROJECT: Fairness in Dermatology Image Classification In the field of dermatology, physicians perform better on certain skin tones compared to others. Machine learning models also perform better on certain skin tones than others, which may be caused by imbalanced training data. We hypothesized that balancing our data with oversampling techniques and synthetic GAN-generated images would improve performance disparities across skin tones. I built a code framework to train/fine-tune CNN models and evaluate their performance/fairness on test sets (check the GitHub repo in my profile). Turns out that augmenting our training data with synthetic images may increase model performance while maintaining or even improving fairness. Very cool stuff! Reach out with questions!

Day one of internship.... As regard the planned curriculum: استلمنا وروحنا.... As regard the personally planned curriculum, I got the chance to observe some of the surgical conditions in the OPC: - Recurrent occipital lipoma which was confirmed by US and MRI to exclude other brain conditions... - Recurrent pilonidal disease for surgical treatment... - Confirmed colon cancer by pathological report for lt hemicolectomy... - Follow up of covering ileostomy after lt hemicolectomy of a perforated sigmoid from an iatrogenic injury.... - Lower GIT bleeding for colonoscopy... - Surgical debridement of an ulcer in a diabetic foot.... - Gluteal abscess drainage... - Wound dressing of a necrotizing fasciitis case....... وفي العموم كان يوم لطيف وربنا يعدي الجاي على خير..... #Internshipdocumentary

🔬 Reflecting on my Internship at MOMA: Bridging clinical diagnostics and Innovation! 🌐  I am thrilled about my internship at Dept. of Molecular Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital (MOMA). This fall, I worked with assignments shaping the forefront of molecular diagnostics: 🖥️ Tech Evolution in Healthcare: I have explored variant interpretation tools, researched AI-integrated solutions for efficient variant interpretation - highlighting the need for tech advancements. This has helped me feel more ready for working closely with AI, which is becoming increasingly relevant in the workplace. 🧬 Polygenic Risk Scores in Focus: I have explored the feasibility of incorporating PRS for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. A statistical journey through SNPs and risk assessments paved the way for implementing PRS at MOMA. Though promising, it posed challenges, and is not yet ready for clinical use. 💼 Workplace Dynamics: MOMA's vibrant culture fostered collaboration and knowledge sharing, creating a sense of belonging among a diverse group of colleagues.  🔑 Key Takeaways: Efficient task management, improved communication skills, profound insights into molecular medicine, real-world problem-solving, and critical thinking. Grateful for this transformative experience!  Thank you very much to the department and my colleagues that have welcomed, supported, and empowered me through these great experiences! #InternshipJourney #Praktik #Diplomingeniør #MolecularDiagnostics #InnovationInHealthcare👩🔬    

Internship opportunity in oncology

I am Thrilled to announce that I've been accepted into the "A Beginner's Guide to Biostatistics in Medical Science" Summer Course at Applied Medical and Health Science Federation (AMHSF)! I'm excited to learn the fundamentals of biostatistics and how they're applied in medical research. This course will equip me with the skills to analyze data, interpret findings, and communicate scientific results more effectively. #biostatistics #medicalscience #AMHSF #internship

Wondering what medical school looks like?📚🏥 Here’s a breakdown of the 4-year journey: 1️⃣ First 2 years in the classroom learning physiology and pathophysiology. 2️⃣ Third year in the hospital for rotations, seeing patients. 3️⃣ Fourth year for clinical rotations, internships, and electives. Dr. Barry explains what to expect each step of the way! 🌟👩⚕️ #MedSchoolJourney #FutureDoctors #MedicalSchool #DoctorLife #MedStudent #HealthcareEducation #MedicalTraining #DrBarrySpeaks #Medicine #Inspiration #StrivePath #MyStrivePath #CollegeAdmissions #CollegeAdmission #Collegepreps

Congratulations to Zoey Hall! ”After I graduate, I plan to get my PhD in either data science or biostatistics, in order to become a data scientist who works on clinical studies related to Black maternal health. Before this internship I was strictly looking for data science programs because I didn’t realize how close biostatistics was to data science, and how biostatistics actually goes more in depth and is used to address more questions related to the biological and health science field. Ultimately, I want to be able to analyze chaos data collected in trials or treatments, targeted for Black maternal health, with the goal of passing it on to legislators and policymakers who can use it to make informed and impactful decisions towards correcting the Black maternal health crisis.” —————————————————————————————————————— POSTER’S NOTE: Congress alone has the power to make new laws and revise existing law. Voters can intentionally vote for congressional representatives who embrace collaborating with diverse experts to make and revise laws that positively impact the diverse population that constitutes the U.S.—a population that includes historically and persistently marginalized persons. Choose representatives wisely. Research them. Perhaps view them through the lens of progress over perfection.

Do you know a student who wants to learn real-world research skills? The Summer Training in Aging Research (STAR) program may be for them! This paid eight- to 10-week internship features tips on poster presentations, scientific seminars, and guidance on applying to graduate and professional schools. The STAR program is open to high school, college, medical/dental, and graduate students. Applications are due by Feb. 16, 2024.
