High School Internship Program

“I learned that there are A LOT of different careers in behavioral health that range from purely lab research to community based research. Knowing this, I am interested in a career in behavioral health in the future.

“The opportunities to speak with people from different career paths was very helpful as well as learning about different topics and parts of research.”

“So much new info about the career path of public health professionals as well as psych careers, as well as learning a lot about things surrounding the social determinants of health

“I didn't have a lot of resources regarding how research is conducted prior to the program, but being able to receive lectures and advice from people conducting research was very helpful and educational.”
