4W Initiative

Internship Location: Madison WI

Organization Type: Nonprofit

Policy Areas: Women’s Health Outcomes, Maternal Mortality

During my internship, I worked on a research project about maternal mortality in Chicago. After conducting research, I created a policy brief to propose current and new solutions to make maternal care more accessible to Chicago residents with the goal of improving maternal mortality. During this experience, I was able to improve my research and writing skills as well as gain new knowledge about how to write policy briefs to make them readable, accessible, and informative. This internship inspired me to continue exploring health policy analysis as a future career choice and equipped me with more knowledge in order to be successful in the future.
