"My time at MSNVA has been incredibly informative. I am currently a healthcare administration student at George Mason University. I have studied many of the issues that plague the healthcare space and before this internship I thought I had a good idea of what the primary issues were. However, during my internship, I learned of so many other issues that are causing problems for medical practices. And things like the medical malpractice cap and the COPN are so important to understanding the overall picture of healthcare in Virginia. Overall, I think that the amount that I learned about the reality of managing a medical practice and the complications therein cannot be understated."

"During my internship with MSNVA, it has given me the perfect opportunity to apply both research and data analysis to a real healthcare project. For example, the first project that I was assigned, the Price Transparency Report 4.0 (PTR4), I was able to examine the difference in procedure costs between ASCs and HOPDs, while presenting complex information clearly. This experience has strengthened a lot of my skills, but particularly my research, analytical, collaboration, and communication skills. Most importantly, MSNVA trusted me with these meaningful responsibilities and was given guidance that helped me become a more confident professional in the real world. This internship was an important step in preparing me for a career in data analytics and healthcare."

"My experience as a marketing intern at the Medical Society of Northern Virginia (MSNVA) has been both engaging and rewarding. I had the opportunity to work on projects like the weekly newsletter, event planning, and social media while building my communication skills and gaining a better understanding of healthcare administration. My preceptor, Claudia, was an amazing mentor — she was patient, always willing to answer questions, and genuinely invested in helping me learn and grow. This experience strengthened my skills and confidence as I prepare to start my career."

"My internship with the Medical Society of Northern Virginia has been a valuable learning experience that allowed me to gain hands-on exposure to healthcare operations and membership management. I developed strong skills in data analysis, communication, and organization while contributing to meaningful projects that supported the organization’s goals. I especially enjoyed working on projects like the RPG audit, where I could see the impact of my work and build confidence in handling real-world tasks."
