Work Experience Spotlight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the summer break, Kelly Ghali had the opportunity to partake in an overseas health internship and volunteer program through the organisation, Projects Abroad. Below is her reflection on the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summer holidays, I had the opportunity to attend a 1 week long Public Health Internship in Cambodia facilitated through the company Projects Abroad. During my stay, I not only got to learn new medicinal practices, but also got to experience an incredible culture and do some sightseeing of some of the most famous temples and museums, not to mention riding in a tuktuk. The internship was comprised of two components. The first part involved preparing educational campaigns that could later be presented to younger children in prep and primary schools. The campaigns were about topics such as hygiene, exercise, and healthy eating habits. The second part of the internship involved going out into rural communities to offer vital health check ups for vitals such as heart rate, oxygen levels, temperature, glucose levels, cholesterol levels, and uric acid levels. I enjoyed this part of the internship more as I was able to both interact with the local community while also learning valuable new medical skills. Overall, I really enjoyed this experience as it opened my eyes to important aspects related to working in health whilst also being able to explore a new country that was extremely rich in culture.<\/em>
