Today I just received official notification for my summer internship with Rugby Research and Injury Prevention Group. The organization is based in New York, but works around the globe with international organizations and teams. They are a not for profit organization that focuses on sports medicine and injury surveillance in rugby athletes. They have professionals with varying backgrounds in orthopedics, sports medicine, statistics, athletic training, nutrition and more.
This morning we had our first introductory meeting over Zoom. I met Som, the summer fellow who I will communicate with throughout the summer. Additionally, I spoke with Dr. Victor Lopez Jr., the executive director for RRIPG. This opportunity will be everything I decide to make of it, and I cannot wait to get started in the next few weeks.
As of now, my first assignment will be testing my Python skills. There is a set of cost data that Dr. Lopez asked me to take a look at and begin evaluating. Other than this initial assignment, however, the projects and direction in which my research will go this summer are still up in the air. Can’t wait to get assigned to more projects!
