Over the course of the 2022-2023 academic year, the Dahdaleh Institute worked with numerous exceptional students through an Internship Program. Our Global Health Interns benefited from the unique opportunity to participate in various of stages of a research project, and gained valuable experience and insight into the field of critical global health research.
Congratulations and thank you to all the interns for contributing to another successful year!
