"Working with MSHP's Population Health team this summer was an invaluable experience. Having the opportunity to tie the basic clinical knowledge we learn in class with a real-world understanding of how healthcare systems influence the care that patients receive has enriched my understanding of medicine and population health and has given me tools to be a better clinician in the future."

"It was wonderful to be surrounded by a team that cared about the health of our city, beyond what happens inside of the doctor’s office. The summer 2020 fellowship at MSHP was pivotal to my understanding of where I belong within medicine and affirmed my natural gravitation towards population health as an indication of where I am best suited to serve."
