Internships

“Successful premed students generally shadow physicians during college, but I think something that makes MHIF unique is that many students go further than this and have working relationships with doctors. The physicians I’ve worked with have been great with giving me their time and enthusiasm, responding to my questions and discussing my ideas for how to go forward in projects. At the very least, I got a much better sense for physician culture. Overall, I think MHIF has been one of my most valuable career experiences.”

 

“I would recommend this internship hands down to any pre-medical student. I have really solidified my career goal of being committed to the forefront of research and clinic. I desire to be at an institute or academic environment where, in addition to patient care, colleagues have an overall commitment to furthering knowledge of medicine and teaching residents, fellows, and students.”

 

“This is an exceptional program that I would recommend to any student who is considering a career in the health professions. Without this internship, it would have been virtually impossible to have exposure in the cardiovascular clinical setting. I got to work on an entire project which yielded valuable information that is publishable. I’ll definitely rate this program a five star.”

 

“During the summer all the shadowing opportunities, the research work, the lunch presentations, and the networking I was able to engage in with staff and fellow interns was a truly invaluable experience. I enjoyed my time here greatly and I am so very thankful for the wonderful opportunity I was given to work on and learn the things I did.”

 

“I would absolutely recommend this program to others. I doubt there is a program like it where the pre-medical students get such incredible access to the physicians of a hospital and get to observe all the things that go on in the cardiovascular diagnostics and inpatient areas. The learning is incredible, but one of the other great things is the sense of how research is conducted that you can take from the experience. As a student entering medical school, I found that the internship will have prepared me well for my future learning in the field.”

 

“This internship has been a great experience and I would strongly recommend it to others. Through my employment at MHI, I have learned so much about cardiology, clinical research, and the medical profession in general. Throughout this summer I have been able to meet numerous individuals with a variety of backgrounds. I feel this experience has expanded my horizons and has given me deeper perspective on the most pressing issues effecting health care today. I cannot imagine a better experience than the one I received as a summer intern at MHI.”
