NYC Health + Hospitals

“What I liked most about this internship was the diverse, hands-on experience working in Bellevue Hospital's Emergency Department. I was able to shadow real-life medical examinations and shadow many types of surgeries, including open heart surgeries. In addition to the clinical aspect, I learned how to become a patient advocate for the vulnerable communities living in New York City. This included the undomiciled population, impoverished families, and families detained from the boarder. ”

“The doctors I shadowed treated me like an adult and really tried to make sure I learned, not only about medicine, but about their experiences as physicians”
