Rising Senior at Lehigh University majoring in psychology with a concentration in clinical and behavioral health and minoring in health, medicine and society.
AAPH provided the opportunity to understand the issues surrounding healthcare in the developing world and explore my interest in public health. Also, the internship presented a good balance between research tasks, field visits and training opportunities.
I had the chance to meet many health care professionals within MDH and also during visits to health facilities and trainings where I received firsthand accounts about the challenges of the health care system. Also, I was very lucky to meet the principal investigator of the live hepatitis study who gave me some great tips for graduate school and linked me to a great contact.
