Often, I find that it is hard to put my public health coursework into context, but research allowed me to bridge this gap, while learning so much more. I discovered my passion for public health, gained a deeper understanding of the field, and formed valuable relationships with my mentors. Through my work with the Bloomberg Opioid Initiative, I had the opportunity to make a difference and I am excited to continue my work as a research assistant this semester!<\/p>\n<cite><em>Hridika Shah, Class of 2023<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>My CAL internship at NIH has been the highlight of my public health career, and it\u2019s fascinating to see the concepts I learn in the classroom be applied and expanded on in real-world contexts.
