About the Internship
The goal of the internship site is to reach out to various healthcare professionals and students, via Zoom, to discuss topics regarding public health. These health professionals also have the option to share their real patient cases amongst the clinicians to answer questions they have about the patients' health concerns. This work impacts the patient's outcome, the clinicians broader thinking and learning process, and students entering the field seeing these discussions that take place.
