Amir- Dignity Health 
"...this experience gave me great foundational experience of the healthcare field, which is the field of work I have the most passion in and plan on pursuing in the future... after this internship I more than positive that this is what I plan on pursuing. More specifically, I want to work in a hospital rather than a clinic or private practice. This is mainly because the whole time shadowing at the hospital I always enjoyed the hospital atmosphere and how it is meant to help all people whereas a private practice mostly focuses on one speciality.

Alana- Dignity Health  
"Before starting the Dignity Health internship I was considering going into the medical field for a very long time or even lab work... I believe the internship solidified my interest in the medical field. I got to see different positions that pay well and still get to have a life, or go to learn about the lifestyle of those more involved in healthcare. The internship has shown me all the different pathways and opportunities evasive in healthcare and the accommodations. Therefore, the internship had solidified my interest [in] healthcare..."
