“Through the program I learned about the field of public health, which is something I have decided I want to spend the rest of my life studying."
-Joseph S.
The day that we travelled to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, where we had the opportunity to practice a virtual laparoscopic surgery on simulation machines and work with the simulation dummies that doctors and medical students use in training and practice.
One of the speakers at my program was Lisa Russell, a filmmaker who makes films focused on public health issues around the world. Her presentation was the first time I had heard of the field of public health, and I knew immediately that it was something I wanted to pursue professionally.
The program provided us with so many opportunities that would not be afforded in a traditional classroom. We learned about medical systems, talked through case studies, and discussed the process of becoming a medical professional. We also got to hear from and talk to medical students, doctors, and other health professionals who gave us invaluable insight into the medical field.
Through my program I learned about the field of public health, which is something I have decided I want to spend the rest of my life studying. Without the program, I'm not sure when I would have learned of the field of public health.
I would tell prospective attendees that the program would provide them with insight and knowledge about the medical field that can't be gained in a traditional classroom. Being able to discuss medicine and healthcare with medical students and professionals is the best way to navigate potential career options for the future.
