Kanya BENJAMANEEPAIROJ,

Graduated from Master of Public Health

“The internship at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health has given me a chance to build my professional experience and networks at the same time. It was such great opportunity having worked with many renowned experts in the research field of HIV/AIDS and HCV research, and Health Economics. Not only did I integrate theory and knowledge from our classes into practice, but I also improved the field of my interest and learned new skills.

It was fortunate to spend a good amount of time living in and enjoying an exceptional city like New York City, while earning a remarkable experience with our partner university, where you could live, learn, and create unforgettable memories. I was content and would highly recommend the opportunity I had to any other student who wants to have a similar experience.”

Valéry RIDDE, Ph.D

Public Health Associate Professor at the University of Montreal, Canada

“The Public Health Research Institute of the University of Montreal (IRSPUM) had the honour of hosting an intern from the EHESP School of Public Health. The research project in which the student was involved dealt with health issues of migrants not covered by health insurance in Montreal. The exchange of practices and research methods used in France and Europe was beneficial to enhance the methodology of the project. The student always had new ideas and solutions to offer. His contribution was essential to the success of the improved method of recruitment. ”
