"Interning at the Global Health Office was an incredible experience! Every day I was assigned a different task, from performing in-depth research on various global health topics to attending multi-sectoral project meetings to searching for relevant funding opportunities to writing comprehensive country reports and hospital assessments. I had the opportunity to improve my research and writing skills in a professional, office environment with plenty of guidance and support. The internship exposed me to a side of health work that I had previously been completely unaware of. Throughout the semester, I learned all about the global health industry as well as how to apply the skills I learned in school to the real world."
