Admissions.CHIP@childrens.harvard.eduDear Yale Computer Science Faculty, Staff & Affiliates,
On behalf of the faculty at the Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) at Boston Children's Hospital & Harvard Medical School, we would like to extend an invitation for all your students in college and graduate school and alumni to apply for the upcoming Summer 2025 internship as part of its inaugural cohort with a paid or course/thesis credit option (applications due February 28).
Our research at CHIP and the various faculty labs explore the intersection of medicine/bioinformatics, public health, the social sciences, and computation within a variety of fields such as AI/machine learning, natural language processing/LLMs, genomics, population health, regulatory science, technology development, data science driven social justice/economics/political science, and more.
For over 30 years, our faculty have been recognized by and advise various institutions, including the White House, the CDC, the US Department of State, USAID, NASA, and many others. Additionally, CHIP has established partnerships with companies like Uber, Lyft, Quest Diagnostics, and Eli Lily and have developed platforms, such as pioneering/inventing the first personally controlled health records and APIs mandated by law, that have been widely adopted by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and others.
Additionally, CHIP graduates hold leadership positions in academia and industry, both nationally and globally, that provide students access to an extensive alumni network for their professional development.
The internship application and further information/details may be found at: https://www.chip.org/internship/chip-ai-internship.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at admissions.chip@childrens.harvard.edu.
Best,

Midterm Exam
The midterm will be Tuesday February 25th at 7pm in Davies Auditorium. It will be a 2 hour hand written exam. No computers. No notes. No books. No kidding. Students registered with Student Accessibility Services will take the exam at Becton C031 next door.
Sample Midterm Exam available . (solutions) The midterm will not have a boolean function question. Instead, it will have a struct question. The actual exam will also include UNIX questions. I will give you a transcript with some of the commands X'd out. You will have to deduce those commands (solutions).
You should be familiar with the recursion and tail recursion examples from the recursion.rkt and Recursion.html For more details on the wonders of tail recursion, see TailRecursion.html and this tail recursion article.
Also, the paper Music and Computation, discussed below, is also in scope, up to but not including Music. There will be true/false questions about binary encodings of numbers, text, images, and sound.
See Point.html for a sample struct question.
