In their own words: Testimonials from students who interned at The Nation's Health A fulfulling, substantial internship My time at The Nation’s Health was honestly the most fulfilling and substantial internship I have had. Many places like to give you busy work or data entry, but my editors at The Nation’s Health had me writing articles from day one and each week was filled with writing, attending events on Capitol Hill or the National Press Club and learning the finer points of AP Style. The experience I have gained at The Nation’s Health has helped me improve my writing for my future plans to become a public health lawyer. I highly recommend this internship for anyone who wants to improve their writing or learn more about public health. — Jeffrey, Georgetown University An experience you can't get anywhere else I really felt like part of the team, not just another summer intern. Even from my first day at APHA, I could tell that this internship would be an experience you couldn't get anywhere else. — Valerie, University of Maryland An insider's view of the hot public health topics Working with a small staff meant that someone was always available to answer my questions, point out helpful resources and offer constructive criticism. My news writing skills improved dramatically in just a few months. I learned how to craft an effective story angle and how to ask the key questions in an interview. Staff members made me feel like I was truly part of the team, encouraging me to write about things I found interesting and always willing to hear my thoughts on story ideas and angles. — Alyssa, University of Pennsylvania Real-world experience — Russell, Brigham Young University Leave APHA with professional communications skills — Christie, Syracuse University |
