"As a Master of Public Health student at UCLA with an emphasis on Health Policy, I was looking for a summer internship where I could obtain real word health policy analysis experience while also learning more about the policymaking process in California. CHBRP was the perfect internship to accomplish both of my goals. My primary summer project with CHBRP was devoted to beginning to understand if enrollees in high deductible health plans utilize preventive services the same as enrollees in less-than- high deductible plans in scenarios where the deductible was waived or prohibited. Through my work on this project, I was given the fantastic opportunity to meet with many of CHBRP’s inspiring Task Force members and gain their insight both about my project and the larger topic of health policy. CHBRP’s staff was amazing in providing consistent feedback on my work as well as developing many interesting side projects that I worked on throughout the summer, such as investigating the impact of racism on health insurance and the proper usage of the term “provider” in CHBRP analyses. I am extremely grateful for my summer with CHBRP, and I hope to carry the many lessons I learned this summer for the rest of my career in health policy."
