Amira Idris, a second-year Master of Public Health (MPH) student in Drexel Dornsife School of Public Health department of Health Management & Policy with a minor in Maternal and Child Health, completed a Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) internship over the summer at the Maryland Department of Health.

Amira supported the Maryland Department of Health with its Title V Needs Assessment. She also did educational outreach and research for the agency's Office of Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs .

Following the internship, Amira reflected on the experience in a Q&A on the Dornsife Life blog.
