NYC Health + Hospitals

Clinical Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

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.

What I wish was different

I enjoyed all aspects of this internship.

Advice

The medical field is much more than just treating the patients symptoms, it's approaching each situation/patient holistically.

What I liked

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

Student Research Intern

June - August 2017 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I had the opportunity to work with real health data from a marginalized population, contribute to a study, visit Rikers Island, and learn about one of the biggest public health systems in the US.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more opportunities to work in the field and in group settings/with other interns (I couldn't because of my age). A lot of the work was done individually and in an office environment.
