what was your internship abroad experience like? My internship abroad experience was a highlight. I always mention how I felt my my internship was both important and relevant to what I want to do in the future. Working with vulnerable populations, in addition to working in educational/hospital settings along with conducting novel research, it truly was a wonderful experience for me.
how did you engage with the local community while abroad?
While interning, I assisted children in the hospital's surrounding area (North Central London) with social anxiety and other mental impairments in improving their mental health & well-being education needs. On an even more local level, some friends and I loved going to one of the pubs in the neighborhood for Tuesday Trivia, which was so much fun!
