Student/Learner Application

Following a 3-day in-person summit, learners will engage in 7 weeks of online learning with hands-on office hours. Each learner will be paired with two TAs and a small pod of up to 10 peers who share similar learning goals. After the bootcamp, learners will spend 4 months on self-guided coursework, applying the skills to their specific research and presenting their work at the end of the program.

Time Commitment

Students/Learners in the ReproRehab Course should be prepared to dedicate 4 hours of course time per week.

During the 7-week online bootcamp:

•     1 hour of asynchronous lecture and hands-on lab material

•     1 hour to review materials independently

•     1 hour of virtual workblock to work on materials independently

•     1 hour of office hours with your TAs and learner pod

During the 4 months of self-guided learning:

•     4 hours of self-guided learning and applying data science to your research, including at least 1 hour of virtual workblock to collaborate on course materials

TA Application

TAs are rehabilitation researchers with data science skills who will be trained to effectively teach these skills to others. Candidates should have at least 2 years of experience programming in Python, MATLAB, or R. During the 7-week online bootcamp, TAs will:

• Host 1-hour weekly office hours with learner pods to troubleshoot emergent issues

• Spend 3 additional hours per week on activities such as:

  • Creating pod curriculum/agenda

  • Reviewing ReproRehab lectures & online content

  • Participating in Q&A with the educational leadership team

  • Answering learner questions via Slack or email

After the bootcamp, TAs are expected to create a YouTube tutorial on a topic of their choice related to reproducible rehabilitation research.

TAs should be willing to commit 4 hours per week to ReproRehab. This role includes a $5,000 stipend, paid at the conclusion of the program in April.

This experience allows TAs to develop leadership skills in teaching data science to rehabilitation researchers while contributing to the ReproRehab program.
