Maine Health

Child Health Intern

June - August 2019 • Portland, ME

What I liked

I loved how welcoming everyone on the Child Health Team was as well as how willing they were to take me to meetings and site visits in order for me to be exposed to all aspects of their work.

What I wish was different

I wish that the projects had been more organized from the beginning. I understand that things change rapidly in the field, but I started off slow with not much to do, towards the middle I had a ton going on, and finally towards the end I didn't have much to do. I wish the projects were more spaced out so I didn't have to wait around for something to come up.

Advice

Take every opportunity to attend a meeting, site visit, internship experience, or attend a conference; they're all such great learning opportunities!
