How I found my internship place?
"Finding an internship is a very challenging task, especially when you would like to perform your internship in EU country" I have started to prepare all required documents from summer holidays. The reason for such early starting was demanding paper works (such as visa for non EU students). In September I applied to several places but I really wanted to get positive response from SSI. Unfortunately, it took very long time for them to decide, which put me under high pressure. Finally, in November I got positive response and was unbelievably happy for this. By that time, I have already created my internship objectives and contract beforehand. I wanted to intern particularly in the department of Epidemiology research where I am now. I heard about this department before from our external teacher and actually she was the one who inspired me and I believed this was the right place for me. Also the place is very relevant to my specialization because researches are the base for recommendations, policy-making process and interventions, which allows me to practice learnt theories in early modules. Soon I will be sharing with you my internship objectives! Let me also introduce SSI for those who maybe don't know it yet. SSI stands for Statens Serum Institute and is the largest health research center in Denmark. It is public organization working under the Danish Ministry of Health. Collecting and communicating of data concerning the health status of Danish population, insuring national framework and standards for e-health, surveilance and control of infectious disease, research and development, just to mention a few are the major tasks of SSI. Will keep in touch!
