Today marked the beginning of our internship at the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General. We were all very excited to get started this morning, and we began by talking with ENS Sophia Yang, our program host, about the overview of our week.
After brief introductions, we had the opportunity to hear from CAPT Patrick Denis. He gave us an introduction to the Office of the Surgeon General and US Public Health Service. He also shared some insightful advice for leaders: “Know what you know and find out what you don’t know. Then, know you have to know everything about what you do know.”
After receiving an overview of the OSG and USPHS, CAPT Robert Tosatto introduced us to the Medical Reserve Corps. Hearing about the different efforts that MRC volunteers have played a role in throughout the years was very interesting. After a Thai lunch, we began developing our group project for the week.
To finish our day, we heard from LT Katie Hager. She shared some of her career experiences as a member of the USPHS Commissioned Corps. Today was a great start to our internship, and we cannot wait to see what else the week holds for us.
