Twenty-six interns were dispersed across 18 local health departments and 5 central office programs, representing 15 colleges\/universities (11 from Virginia and 4 out of state).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 of our interns were current graduate students.<\/li>\n<li>Undergraduate interns were working toward degrees in nursing, public health, social work, chemistry and pre-med.<\/li>\n<li>6 interns had just completed their bachelor\u2019s or master\u2019s degrees prior to the start of the Internship Academy; one already had a job lined up as an ICU nurse upon internship completion, and 3 out of the remaining 5 have since been hired full-time at VDH!<\/li>\n<li>1 intern is now in the Governor\u2019s prestigious Virginia Management Fellows program!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-607-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"headshots panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-607-1\"
