Internships
Be a part of one of the most interesting labs at the University of Calgary! See how group therapy works, how patients feel about their doctors, medical treatments, or what they go through in their personal lives in dealing with issues like breast cancer.
We recruit new coders twice a year, around April-May and August-September. If you are interested in applying for an internship, please read the following.
