Reviews

MCHC/RISE-UP Intern

May 2018 - August 2018 Sioux Falls, SD
“This internship was funded through Kennedy Krieger and had three site locations, one in Baltimore at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, one in South Dakota, and one in California. At the beginning of the internship we had the opportunity to meet with interns from all of the other sites at an orientation in Baltimore. This was an incredible experience and opened my eyes to several facets of public health, the orientation was one of the major highlights of the internship. My work in South Dakota entailed working at a Helpline Center, and was also great. This provided opportunities to gain experience though work on a number of projects while making connections with colleagues and the greater community. ”
