What I liked

I love the hands-on interaction that I receive with patients of diverse backgrounds, it really allows me to learn how to communicate with people outside of my own culture and learn more about the importance of social and cultural competence. I also love being able to work so closely with nurses, TeleTechs, and other healthcare providers.

What I wish was different

This is something that I cannot change but of course, I wish the pandemic was not a problem so that there are fewer limitations on my position as an intern.

Advice

It's an amazing experience that allows students to really grasp a deeper understanding of what it is like to work in the healthcare/medical field. If someone is interested in applying to the internship, take it seriously because it is extremely competitive and you are not guaranteed a spot.
