American Osteopathic Association

“My supervisors entrusted me with very important work and flexibility to get it done my way. I appreciated this level of autonomy. I also learned so much from the people I was working with, got valuable exposure to very pressing public health issues such as the opioid crisis, the ACA repeals, and the internal House of Delegates meeting. The CEO of the medical association created this internship program herself and took a lot of time out to get to know each of the interns. Travel and lodging to the main headquarters in Chicago was provided by the company and each business trip was a great learning experience and plenty of fun. I was paired with a wonderful mentor as well who I got to know very well, who gave me excellent educational and career advice, and who I got to know deeply on a personal level as well. I made lasting connections.”
