Our summer interns have been hard at work exploring real-world public health issues and developing innovative projects in partnership with both state and local health departments. 📍What to Expect: The full session will run for just over two hours, but we understand everyone’s schedules are tight. We welcome you to pop in and out as you’re able, especially if there are particular projects or topics you’d like to hear more about. Please do not feel obligated to stay for the full three hours – we understand you have very busy schedules!
