Anyla Hunt-2024
I’m very thankful for the clinical experience that I got through CHSP. I learned a lot and for that I am grateful. I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian and through this internship I got the full experience. I know I am certain that this is the career that I want to pursue. CHSP is an excellent program that I would recommend to anyone wanting a career in the health field.
Orenda Locklear-2024
Overall, my CHSP experience was very informative and granted me a lot of exposure to different area of the medical field, so I could come to a possible decision of what kind of PA I'd like to be in the future. During my experience with the Outer Banks Hospital, I was a little disappointed that they wouldn't let me be hands-on even though I asked, but there were plenty of kind people willing to help me learn. Lastly, I enjoyed the educational week and thought it was great, but next year I hope to find a preceptor that specifies in the PA field more and allows me to be hands-on to fully experience the program.

After this internship experience, I think I have a newfound love for urgent care. Being involved in any aspect of the clinic has been rewarding as I was able to get a realistic perspective on how each department collectively works together to provide patient care. I am more excited than ever to pursue a career in medicine.

CHSP is a great opportunity for the pre-health students to witness firsthand what their future career choice consists of. I’ve always been interested in being a PA in women’s health but after completing the internship, I am now more drawn to emergency medicine. CHSP is a good way to get your foot in the door.

The CHSP summer internship program helped me to truly understand what my career field expects of me and to also allow me to experience that life for 6 weeks. I really got to learn a lot about the world of Physical Therapy, whether that be the good or the bad and build lasting relationships along the way. I enjoyed everything about the CHSP Internship and would recommend it to everyone.
Hunter Powell-2024
The opportunities CHSP provided solidified my desire to become a dentist. My preceptors were great role models, and the hands-on experience was invaluable. Through this program, I not only gain a better understanding of the dental field, but I forged long lasting friendships with everyone I worked with.
Holly Hansen-2024
The opportunity to be involved in this summer program has reassured me into wanting to pursue the medical profession even more. Dr. Locklear at Pembroke Optometric Clinic, her sister, and the rest of the staff has made me feel welcome since the first day and showed how much they cared for each other and the patients that went there as well. I am forever grateful to HCAP and the opportunities that they provided since I have been at UNC Pembroke, and I hope to do the same one day.
