SUMMARY:National Canadian Medical Datathon
DESCRIPTION:The National Canadian Medical Datathon is a two-day\, beginner-friendly innovation sprint where students from medicine\, computer science\, engineering\, business\, public health\, and more team up to solve healthcare problems using data. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat happens: \n\nYou’ll work in an interdisciplinary team on a healthcare challenge using a provided dataset.\nApply your skillset (coding\, analytics\, design\, strategy\, research\, communication) to explore the data\, build models/solutions\, and turn findings into something useful.\nMentors support you throughout (approach selection\, troubleshooting\, interpretation\, and presentation).\nYou’ll finish by presenting what you built with a chance to compete against other schools!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy it matters: \n\n\nHealthcare is one of the biggest\, fastest-moving spaces for technology and data— nd it needs people who can build\, evaluate\, and communicate solutions responsibly. This event is designed to help you build confidence in: \n\n\n\nworking with real-world health datasets + constraints\napplying technical methods (analytics/ML) to messy problems\ntranslating results into clear\, decision-ready takeaways\ncollaborating across disciplines (clinical + technical + operational)\n\n\n\nWho should join: \n\n\n\nAny post-secondary student who’s curious about healthcare\, data\, AI/ML\, product\, design\, or innovation\nBeginners welcome (and supported) + experienced folks who want a meaningful problem space\n\n\n\nNo prior health background required. Coding helps\, but it’s not mandatory there are roles for every skillset. \n\n\nSign up here: Registration Form
