“I cannot overstate the impact that my Boston Children’s Hospital Pathology internship has had on my career. I have spent my summers through high school and college interning in various departments throughout BCH before being accepted to intern in the department of Pathology. This internship introduced me to the purpose of the pathology department and the wide variety of roles that go into producing diagnoses for patients. I had never even heard of histology before I started in pathology, but over that summer I became interested in and truly passionate about becoming a histology tech—the job of my dreams that I never knew existed.”

“We took the opportunity to expand our internship program to the health and medical field, and it was very important for a lot of the kids and their families. A lot of students who were really starting to get into the STEM curriculum and looking at different courses, and when John explained what the kids could do at Boston Children’s, it made a lot of sense. It's the exposure to the career, to the professionals, and also to the world of work that our students are getting that really makes this a unique opportunity for our kids.”
