They work at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Washington, DC. This is an important first job in learning about how NGOs in health function. They plan to go on to get an MPH with a focus on health policy.
How did they get there? They studied abroad on the International Honors Program while at college, volunteered at the Field and Career Services office, and coordinated several programs. When they interviewed at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, they remembered to cite the Atul Gawande story, The Bell Curve, that they read in a Beloit College class on the health care system. The interviewers were impressed with their understanding of the medical and organizational challenges of CF control.
