"Orchid gave me one of the most critical things to grow my skills and my career-a chance. A chance to challenge myself in areas I knew nothing about, a chance to develop new skills and improve old ones, and a chance to prove my worth and establish myself. My experiences at Orchid have set me up to enter the work force, work with a skilled team, and manage the direction of my future."

Bespoke Match

Orchid’s most common internship model. We encourage people to come to us, sit down, and share your skills and your experience and your goals for the future. We’ll work hard to find a great project for you–and if we can’t, we’ll see if we can create one.

Who we’re looking for: You! Whatever you can bring to the table, if you are motivated and enthusiastic to find out what you can give to the world and what the world can teach you in return, we’re here to find you the perfect place to plant yourself.

Creating Clinical Modules for Healthcare Data

Under physician guidance, interns will review medical literature and learn to create and refine existing “clinical modules.” These modules will be used in combination with open-source project Synthea™ to generate simulated “realistic but not real” healthcare data that can be used by researchers who wish to model the effects of treatment or policy strategies.

Responsibilities: Working as part of a small team to review academic research and use it to create accurate computer models.

Who we’re looking for: Students in high school or college interested in the pre-med track, interested in reading and working with academic literature.
