"I completed my summer internship with CHBRP while a student in the Masters of Science- Health Policy program at UCSF. During my internship I worked with CHBRP staff and faculty to create a brief detailing the continued impacts of implementation of the Affordable Care Act. From this experience, I gained a better understanding of health insurance and health policy at both the state and federal levels. My time at CHBRP also included meeting with various stakeholders from state agencies, legislative staff, and the health insurance industry. CHBRP’s location, within the UC Health Division of the University of California Office of the President, also afforded me unique opportunities including meetings with managers from multiple UC system-wide health initiatives. Overall, this was an incredibly valuable experience!"
