As part of the v-INSPIRE program, I had the honor of finishing an offline internship with the Foundation of Healthcare Technologies Societies (FHTS) for three months. When I first began this internship, I was relatively new to the field of Public Health and faced several challenges due to my limited knowledge. However, this experience has been transformative for me, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow at FHTS.
Throughout my internship, I have had the pleasure of working closely with exceptional mentors and team members at FHTS. Their expertise and guidance played an important role in my understanding of the field. I was impressed by the dedication of the entire FHTS team, who were always willing to share their knowledge and support my learning journey.
At the beginning of my internship, I faced many challenges in assessing my eligibility. These challenges included the need to understand complex concepts quickly, adapt new strategies and collaborate effectively in a professional environment I appreciate how hands-on this internship gave me, allowing me to be creative applied the knowledge I gained in my academic studies. This practical exposure helped me gain important skills and insights that I believe will be a strong foundation for my future in public health.
My time at FHTS has been an invaluable experience, gaining not only knowledge but also a deep passion for the work I do. I sincerely thank the FHTS team for their guidance and support throughout this internship. I am eager to take the lessons learned here into my future endeavors and continue to do my best in public health.
