In summer 2022, dozens of college students took part in rewarding internships across the Mount Sinai Health System—in clinical sites, administrative offices, and laboratories—gaining valuable exposure to careers in health care and medicine with the support of valued mentors.
The interns’ experiences were varied. Among many projects, they studied genetics and genomics, wrote physician profiles, created social media strategies, analyzed patient insurance statistics, recruited and educated participants in a sexual health study, and gathered data in support of health equity.
Jiaying (Jocelyn) Zhu, a finance major at Baruch College, summed up her lessons learned in Mount Sinai’s Office for Diversity and Inclusion. “I have taken initiative, and I am always eager to learn and ask questions,” she says. “Just ask, and you will learn.”
At the end of their experience, interns reflected on their most interesting projects at Mount Sinai and looked ahead to their career goals. Their insights are below.
