✨ Intern Spotlight: Niosha Parvizi ✨
What was your favorite part of your internship experience?
“My favorite part was not only working with such an amazing team and fellow interns, but also immersing myself in so many different perspectives of medicine and healthcare. From patient and physician shadowing to community outreach, research, and patient education — I loved how comprehensive the internship was!”
What’s one thing you learned that surprised you?
“I’d always heard about the lack of access to education in our country, but seeing it firsthand really opened my eyes. There’s such a gap in healthcare education, and it made me realize how important it is to help people truly understand their health — especially bone and joint health.”
How has this internship shaped your career goals?
“This experience reignited my love and passion for medicine. After seeing the impact of service during Operation Walk Pittsburgh Mission 2025, I fell even more in love with the idea of helping others through healthcare.”
What advice would you give to future interns?
“Learn as much as you can and use what you learn to make an impact — not just abroad, but in your own community. There’s so much need right here at home, and as interns, we can play a role in bridging those gaps.” 💙
Thank you for a great summer, Niosha! We’ll miss you and wish you the best of luck in your future. 🌟
