TESTIMONIALS
“My internship at the UF College of Medicine Dean’s Office of Finance & Administration has been an invaluable experience for my growth as an MHA student. It’s given me meaningful exposure to the inner workings of a large academic medical center, where I’ve been able to connect classroom knowledge with real-world applications. I’ve had the chance to dive into healthcare finance and operations, enhanced my project management skills by leading complex initiatives from start to finish, and expanded my technical skills in data analysis. Beyond that, the mentorship and leadership opportunities have played a huge role in shaping my passion for healthcare and have made me confident that I built a strong foundation for the next step on my path as a healthcare administrator.”- Josie Shelton

Additionally, the invaluable mentorship and professional development opportunities have been integral to my growth, imparting lessons that will continue to shape my professional journey, for which I am deeply grateful.”- Michael Pierce
