My internship in public health at v-INSPIRE has been an invaluable step in my professional development. With the mentorship and support of experienced professionals, I deepened my understanding of epidemiology, disease prevention, and health policy. One of the most rewarding aspects was contributing to projects that improved community health through educational campaigns, data analysis, and disease prevention strategies. These experiences allowed me to witness the real impact of our work on communities. I also greatly valued the friendly and supportive atmosphere within the team, which created an ideal environment for learning and growth.

My internship at FHTS has been both learning and fulfilling, guided by knowledgeable and motivating mentors. I gained skills in persuasive communication, health camp setting, creating culturally relevant NCD content, and applying consumer health informatics through technological solutions. Field trips helped me connect with communities and understand how to spread awareness effectively. A highlight was contributing to an ICMR-funded research project, which enhanced my editing skills and taught me to create target-specific content. Overall, this experience gave me deeper insights into public health and confidence in pursuing my future in this field.

It was a great opportunity to be associated with the FHTS internship and learn and develop my skills. Also, during this period of internship, I got to know an infinite amount of new information. Dr. Ashish Joshi is the best mentor one could have. The presentations and group discussions made me confident enough to speak my thoughts. Thank you, FHTS, for this great opportunity to be a part of your team.

My internship with FHTS under Dr. Joshi greatly enhanced my understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact, and government responses. The experience strengthened my skills in data analysis and interpreting trends, while FHTS’s initiatives like the dashboard portal and blogs were truly motivating. With the mentorship of Dr. Joshi and the team, I gained confidence in presenting my findings and was inspired to further grow in my public health career.

Worked on a 3-month assignment for a Public Health Informatics project, mapping digital health policies and frameworks of all countries around the world, communicating, working, and sorting data, was a rewarding experience. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to serve as a teaching assistant for a month, during which I prepared syllabi and modules for a public health database course. Overall, I would say it was a wonderful experience and thought-provoking internship with FHTS. I would highly recommend FHTS to anybody keen on public health and advanced technologies, and informatics.

FHTS gave me a platform to turn theoretical knowledge into practical experience through urban slum visits, health camps, and research work, like data collection and in-depth interviews. I gained valuable skills in data handling, counselling beneficiaries, and understanding community health needs. The INSPIRE program is a great opportunity for public health students, and I am thankful to FHTS and Dr. Ashish Joshi for helping me gain experiences that will support my career goals.

As my V-INSPIRE internship comes to an end, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the members of FHTS for the continuous support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this journey. This internship has been an incredibly valuable learning experience for me, both academically and professionally. I had the opportunity to gain practical exposure in public health research, data collection, survey methodologies, community-based health programs, data analysis, and research writing. The experience has greatly strengthened my understanding of epidemiology, research methodology, and implementation-based public health work. I would especially like to thank all the mentors, coordinators, faculty members, and staff at FHTS for creating such a supportive and motivating environment. Your guidance helped me improve my communication skills, teamwork, analytical abilities, and confidence in research practices. Being a part of the V-INSPIRE internship has truly inspired me to continue pursuing my interests in public health and research. I am grateful for the knowledge, mentorship, and experiences I received during my time with the organization. Thank you once again to everyone at FHTS for your support and kindness. I hope to stay connected and contribute again in the future.

During my internship with FHTS, I worked on health system mapping and comparative analysis of countries, and explored public health issues such as climate change and its impact on health. I developed skills in research, data analysis, and understanding global health systems and challenges.I have gained experience in health system analysis, public health research, and global health challenges.

During the internship at v-Inspire , Foundation for Healthcare Technologies Society (FHTS), I had a highly enriching and impactful learning experience. The internship provided strong exposure to public health research, programmatic thinking, and evidence-based approaches to health system strengthening. The online sessions and meetings were intellectually stimulating and collaborative, encouraging critical thinking, innovation, and practical problem-solving. I gained valuable hands-on experience in data analysis, literature review, report writing, and understanding real-world public health interventions aligned with sustainability and health equity. The mentorship and guidance provided by the team and to mention my guide for the internship Dr. Priyanka Arora was exceptional, fostering both professional growth and confidence. This internship significantly enhanced my understanding of public health practice and reinforced my commitment to contributing meaningfully to population health and policy-oriented research. I strongly recommend v-Inspire (FHTS) to students and professionals seeking a rigorous, value-driven, and impactful learning experience in public health.

By doing an Internship in the Foundation of HealthCare Technologies Society as a Public health intern, I learnt sound knowledge about how the public health system works and how it flows. Dr. Ashish Joshi listens to every student’s perspective who is coming from a different background and explains accordingly. I am very glad that I experienced this internship.
