Education

As a research institution we regulary take part in the The Girls’ Day, which is a nationwide project encouraging career and study orientation of girls in professions or subjects in which the proportion of women is less than 40 percent. Alongside other companies, businesses and universities throughout Germany, on Girls’ Day we open our door to schoolgirls to present them with insights and experiences in IT, science, and research.

The aim of the research training group is to train young Data Sciences from the fields of medical informatics, computer science, statistics, epidemiology, and psychology so that they obtain a holistic overview of the state of research on knowledge- and data-based personalization of medical decision-making processes and learn to design new methods on an interdisciplinary basis and implement them prototypically using the example of malignant melanoma.

In several cases, a deep learning-based solution is only as good as the data quality provided for it. Therefore, the Annotation Lab Essen, an organizational unit of the Institute for AI in Medicine and part of the Essen University Hospital, specializes in the annotation of medical data such as images, texts and beyond. Within the Annotation Lab, medical students are given the opportunity to deepen acquired knowledge through practice in cooperation with trained doctors.
