Hey all,
I’m a high school sophomore, and I’m really interested in becoming a doctor and getting involved in public health in the future (MD / MPH). However, I can’t really find any extracurriculars at school or internships elsewhere, where I could foster my passion for public health. This problem got me wondering if I could maybe volunteer or intern at my local municipal building’s Health Department/Office? The only problem is my municipality does not have any internship opportunities. How should I go about getting an internship there; should I knock on the door, send an email to the main health officer? Any advice is helpful. Thanks in advance.
