Call for Participation: Health Data Science Posters
Our annual Duke Health Data Science poster showcase will be held on Friday, December 12 from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM in-person at the Duke’s Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences (FCIEMAS) Atrium, Ground Level. No registration is needed for this event, which is free and open to the public.
We’re excited that this cross-disciplinary event will be hosted by multiple organizations, including Duke AI Health, Duke Pratt School of Engineering, Duke Center for Computational Thinking, Duke Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation and Duke Health. We thank the Duke Center for Computational Thinking for their generous support in printing the posters.
We invite any member of the Duke community to submit a poster topic for participation
Participants can include students, trainees, staff, and faculty.
How to participate
Please submit your poster topic at: https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0NXKdxPjvNhAHsi
The preferred deadline for poster topics to be submitted is Thursday, December 4, but we will accept topics on a rolling basis.
After you submit your topic, you’ll receive a poster template with the correct dimensions. You’ll need to submit your finalized poster by Friday, December 5 in order to have it printed. There is no cost to participate, and we will print your submitted poster free of charge.
Poster topics can cover a wide range of potential topics
Health data science is a broad discipline including statistics, informatics, machine learning, data engineering, implementation, process engineering, technology development, and applications. We especially encourage submissions describing experiences with Duke data sources.
Student posters describing class projects (at both the undergraduate and graduate levels) are also encouraged.
This experience is intended to be especially valuable to individuals seeking to gain experience in presenting their work in front of a scientific audience, and the poster itself can become a valuable part of an academic portfolio.
The showcase will include poster judging, with recognitions including a people’s choice award.
About the health data science showcases
This will be our fourth poster showcase, and previous participants have reported that they gain valuable experience through participation. We invite you to join us! The health data science showcases are directed by AI Health’s Managing Director Shelley Rusincovitch. Please email aihealth@duke.edu if you have any questions.
