"As a Graduate Intern with CHBRP, I was encouraged to learn and develop new skills while contributing to a variety of projects with CHBRP staff and faculty. I value the unique role CHBRP has in conducting objective analyses for the California Legislature. Working through an objective lens allowed me to gain a holistic understanding of health insurance and policy. In addition, the structure of the internship balanced mentorship with applying skills to team and independent projects. The projects I worked on created a foundation of health policy knowledge and communication skills that I can build on throughout my career in pharmacy. In particular, my independent project was to produce a white paper on Outpatient Prescription Drugs. The goal of this white paper was to simplify complex pharmacy benefit topics and support CHBRP reports. Overall, this internship is a unique opportunity to learn and work in a supportive environment."
