Our time has been spent using our academic background in public health to analyze data from a community intervention program targeted at obesity in Hispanic/Latino women, researching various health programs and intervention for literature reviews, transcribing focus group and key informant interviews, and writing for manuscripts and the monthly MAPPR newsletter. Not only have we contributed to several projects, we have also had the opportunity to meet several community stakeholders and organizations and gain direct exposure to the community-based participatory approach to health care that is the foundation of MAPPR's mission statement.
Our professional and personal growth has been nurtured through a highly emphasized open-door communication style and team-orientation. Our roles as interns have been emphasized as a vital part of the team, making us truly understand the value and importance of teamwork. This experience has provided Taja and I with invaluable professional research experience that will help us become more rounded public health professionals.
