What I liked
Spending my summer at HCMC gave me vital insight in to not only what it is like to work in a research lab, but also the inner workings of a hospital. Not only was I able to gain research experience that was focused on the opioid epidemic and vaccine creation, but also had the opportunity to interact with various providers and shadow specialties or sectors of a hospital I may not have otherwise been able to. I personally grew a greater interest in public health, and can confidently say now that I want to pursue a career in medicine.
