Engineering and testing
Reproduce a bug using fictional data, propose a fix and demonstrate that the test detects the original defect.
Deliverable: a reproducible test and a small verified patch.
Internships at BIOS
One task. A result you can verify.
Explore a health product through a concrete engineering or product task. Start with a small scope and clear quality criteria.
We are collecting expressions of interest. This is not a guaranteed intake.
01
Engineering and testing
Deliverable: a reproducible test and a small verified patch.
02
Data quality
Deliverable: a discrepancy report and validation rules.
03
Product and accessibility
Deliverable: an acceptance scenario and justified interface changes.
Where you could contribute
Examples for discussion. We agree the exact scope before work starts.
Data quality
Check units, dates and provenance in a synthetic dataset. Distinguish ambiguous values from confirmed observations.
Deliverable: a discrepancy report and validation rules.
Product and accessibility
Review one user journey, such as signing in, uploading a document or correcting a fact. Check errors, keyboard use and small screens.
Deliverable: an acceptance scenario and justified interface changes.
Clinical informatics
Map terminology from a permitted public source to an educational dataset. Record provenance, limitations and questions for a qualified reviewer.
Deliverable: a verifiable terminology map, with no patient advice.
How the work is organised
Application
Your interests, experience, available time and a work sample. A student project is welcome.
Agreement
Discuss the task, supervisor, duration, workload and terms before any work starts.
Short cycle
Agree the deliverable, work in a separate environment and share an intermediate result.
Review
Assess the result against the agreed criteria. Any further collaboration is discussed separately.
Health product work needs clear boundaries
Start with synthetic data or permitted public materials. Access to medical data, clinical decisions and live services is never automatic. Interns do not make treatment decisions or activate changes independently.
Agree the terms before starting
Available places and supervision, dates, format, weekly hours, payment, contract and permission to share work in a portfolio are discussed individually. Applying does not guarantee participation, employment or a certificate.
