Give now Celebrating 1,000 interns Description of the video: ASHLEY REMY: I’m Ashley Remy. KATY STEWART: My name is Katy Stewart. MICHAEL PECK: I’m Michael Peck. OLIVE MCINTOSH: My name is Olive. MARC MENDONCA: I think the LHSI program has been incredibly valuable for all of my students and in terms of their ability to understand the relevance of the classes, do very well in their classes, and go on to do great things in graduate school and medical school. TITUS SCHLEYER: So I didn’t really have mentorship, at least not in this country. I’m an immigrant. So I was never part of the academic structure and development here. As time went on, I realized how important mentorship is and somebody kind of guiding you along the right signposts. KATHLEEN CRUM: I would say that when I interact with my interns, I get a chance to see problems and questions that have been in the field for a long time. I get to see those problems and questions from a different perspective. So it’s driven by the different experiences that interns bring to the table. I think it’s really valuable in science to have that different perspective. MICHAEL PECK: LHSI was very transformative for me. I kind of walked into the internship thinking it was like one step ahead to take to do clinical psych degree. But as I really ingrained myself in what I was doing and I talked to the people I was working with, I found myself kind of falling in love with research. It changed my goals and it changed my aspirations for what I want to do, how I want to help people, and what kind of impact I want to make on the world. KATY STEWART: Even from the very start, I had a pretty hands on role. And I was shocked about that. I thought I was just going to be doing the intern grunt work. But I was really lucky in that he actually was able to get me involved right from the start. ASHLEY REMY: I developed really important soft skills for a future physician, which was empathetic communication. As an intern, I was able to conduct qualitative interviews with parents who’ve experienced peri-viable delivery, along with providers and also people who are pregnant for the first time. So it was really interesting to not only conduct those interviews but just communicate with them and make them comfortable enough to share such intimate details with me about an experience that may be hard to recall. OLIVE MCINTOSH: I’m an intern for the Hulvershorn lab, which does research with kids with ADHD and their families. And they are seeing if there’s connections for risky decision-making. So I get to email the research participants and their parents and kind of send them surveys and get information from them to see how the program is working for them. VALLIEI CHANDRAKUMAR: The internship it taught me a whole lot of things, but I think primarily it taught me that this is a good foundation to grow. There’s a lot of different opportunities out there, and I have the skills that it takes. I’ve just got to be able to put in the drive and know when to ask for help to continue that learning journey in the future.
