Over the course of the 2023-2024 academic year, the Dahdaleh Institute collaborated with a group of outstanding students as part of the Internship Program. In recent years, our internship program has expanded to include research positions across disciplines progressing towards novel and innovative global health research. Through this program, our global health interns have the unique opportunity to participate in various stages of a research project and gain valuable hands-on experience and insights.
Congratulations and thank you to all the interns for contributing to another successful year!
