Program 2021

The McMedHacks program consists of 8 weeks of presentations and interactive workshops that will help you learn the fundamentals of medical image analysis and deep learning in Python. Each week will have one presentation session and one workshop.

During the presentations sessions leaders in industry and researchers with cutting edge medical image analysis and deep learning projects will present their work. The purpose of these presentation sessions is to motivate and inspire you for the upcoming workshop.

The interactive workshops will be tutorials and demonstrations of how to apply deep learning based analysis to various medical imaging modalities. Participants can follow along and modify the code during the workshops using Google Colab.

The workshops will take place from June 12th until July 31st. After the workshops we will be hosting the McMedHacks hackathon as an opportunity to practice your skills in a friendly competition. More information about the hackathon is coming soon.
