"As a Master of Public Policy student at the UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy, I sought a summer experience that would allow me to develop my analysis skills, learn more about the landscape of health policy in California, and apply my existing public health expertise to an impactful, policy-focused project. CHBRP exceeded my expectations in these regards and more. I delved into projects on several topics, including network adequacy, high deductible health plans, and the impact of racism on health. I had the chance to meet with several CHBRP Task Force members and stakeholders, and I was able to work closely with other highly motivated CHBRP interns. The CHBRP team was truly invested in my learning and growth as a policy analyst and writer. I was challenged, supported, and valued for my expertise and interests. The experience cemented my interest in health policy, and I am excited to continue my career in this field."
