Today marked the final day of the HOSA Internship in the Office of the Surgeon General. The interns had a fantastic time, and are very excited to share their experiences back at home with their HOSA chapters and State Associations. This day was filled with a little work, excitement, learning opportunities, and final remarks.
At the beginning of the week, each of the interns were assigned a project to work on for the rest of the week. All topics were connected to the Medical Reserve Corps and each of the interns put an abundance of hard worker and effort into their assignments! The day began with preparation for their final projects that they would be presenting, however before giving their presentations to the Public Health Service officers, the interns took a ride down to the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS)!
The HOSA students had the opportunity to tour the campus, and it was absolutely breath taking! The USUHS is a graduate university for those pursuing a career in the medical field. Once you earn your bachelor's degree, you have the opportunity to apply and potentially attend USUHS for absolutely free! Once you complete your education, you are required to pay back the university by serving in one of the following uniformed services for several years: Army, Navy, Airforce or the Public Health Service. This is a great opportunity for HOSA members! If you would like more information, visit www.usuhs.mil
After returning back to the office, the interns then gave their presentations that they had been prepping for all week! They all did a fantastic job and left the PHS officers with positive impressions. At the conclusion of the day, the interns where then presented with awards and special MRC Coins from the officers. 
The HOSA Internship in the Office of the Surgeon General has been a great opportunity for all three HOSA members! It has definitely been the ultimate experience of a life time! All HOSA members should look out for the OSG Internship application and apply to be interns for the summer of 2012!
