We are looking for medical students to help fine-tune a Large Language Model (LLM) for clinical annotations.
Project: This project aims to train an LLM to annotate clinical visit transcripts to identify text segments related to Medications, Medical Conditions, Symptoms, Tests, Treatments, and Procedures. This model will be integrated into an existing web application (HealthPAL), identifying these segments to help patients navigate recordings of their clinic visits.
Task: Audit the model’s initial outputs on at least 5 transcripts to help improve accuracy and relevance. The codebook is still being finalized, so some flexibility will be needed as definitions and categories evolve.
There may be a chance for involvement in future publications related to this work.

I am a family physician-researcher based at DH and TDI. My research focuses on improving transitions of care and healthcare utilization for populations dually impacted by the criminal legal system and substance use disorders. I have two scoping review projects that would benefit from student collaboration. Students can participate in one or both projects. Manuscript co-authorship is available if you are willing to meet ICJME authorship criteria [icmje.org] by participating in the writing process. Neither project requires prior experience with scoping reviews or manuscript preparation.
1. Linkage to primary care, substance use treatment, and social services during reentry from prisons and jails to rural communities: A scoping review
- The objective of this scoping review is to describe the program characteristics and types of outcomes examined for programs designed to link adults to primary care, substance use treatment, and/or social services during reentry from prisons and jails to rural communities.
-
Status: Title/Abstract screening is complete. Next steps are to screen and review full text articles, to be followed by data extraction and manuscript preparation
- Goal timeline for manuscript completion: 9/01/2025
2. Rapid scoping review of self-management interventions for adults experiencing incarceration and reentry
- The objective of this scoping review is to assess the extent of the literature on self-management interventions for adult populations experiencing incarceration and reentry in the United States. The primary review research is: What are the characteristics of interventions to develop self-management among U.S. adults experiencing incarceration and/or reentry from incarceration?
-
Status: Search strategy is developed. Next steps are to remove duplicates and begin screening article titles/abstracts, which will be followed by full-text screening and review, data extraction, and manuscript preparation
- Goal timeline for manuscript completion: 01/01/2026
