Abigail (or Abi for short) is just one of our many State interns this summer. She is working as an intern at the Maine Cancer Registry, specifically as a research and data assistant. She just graduated from Simmons University with a degree in Public Health and minor in Biostatistics. Read more about what she has to say about her career goals and experience so far: In the future, I aspire to work in the public health work field, whether with a government agency or in the non-profit sector. I’m most interested in epidemiology, the study of disease distribution within populations, which my current internship with the Maine Cancer Registry, an office with the Maine CDC, directly relates to. This internship has also offered invaluable experience working for state government and given me an idea of what to potentially expect in the future if this is the path I choose. One of my favorite aspects of this internship so far has been learning about others’ educational and career paths, whether traditional or not and how they made their way to serving the people of Maine. The flexibility of the position has also been a perk. The team works two days a week in the office and the rest from home. Having a chance to go into the office has been a wonderful way to meet other people also working in the Data, Research and Vital Statistics branch. It also gives me the opportunity to ask questions and problem solve with my coworkers. Some workdays I’ll have meetings or webinars to attend. I split my time between data quality and data reporting projects. This includes entering patient pathology reports into the cancer registry software and trying to locate missing patient treatment information in pre-existing profiles. What questions do you have for Abi?

Hi Network, As the 2nd week of my internship begins I wanted to share my reflections from my first week at Prostate Cancer UK as a Health Data Analyst intern! 🌟 From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by an incredibly passionate and talented team committed to our mission: #LeaveNoManBehind. Meeting such diverse and inspiring individuals has been a fantastic experience, and I already feel a strong sense of belonging and purpose! Here are some highlights from last week: 👥 This week has been jam-packed with learning about the company, my team and our objectives and Prostate Cancer. I have had the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the organization who have all been incredibly friendly and meet our CEO, Laura Kerby, whose insights and knowledge were incredibly inspiring, it is amazing to see leadership so engaged and supportive! 📊 My team has been super supportive in helping me smoothly integrate into Prostate Cancer UK. Joining various meetings and interactive sessions has been incredibly insightful and I have already gained valuable knowledge about our initiatives and the impact we're striving to make. Did you know 1 in 4 Black men in the UK get diagnosed with prostate cancer? Understanding more about the critical work being done has been incredibly eye-opening. 💡I was introduced to the project I’ll be working on throughout the next couple of weeks which I will present to my department at the end of my internship. The project is incredibly interesting and impactful, and I’m enthusiastic about the opportunity to make a meaningful difference. I’m also eager to learn from my colleagues throughout this exciting journey! A key takeaway from my first week: Do not hesitate to ask questions, even if they seem simple. I initially found myself getting lost in the terminology, concepts and abbreviations and quickly discovered the importance of finding a balance between proactiveness and transparency. The more you ask, the more you learn! I’m incredibly excited for the weeks ahead and can't wait to continue this journey with Prostate Cancer UK! #HealthData #ProstateCancerUK #LeaveNoManBehind #healthdataanalystintern #week1internshipreview #blackinternprog

"US Birth Rate Analysis" Hello Everyone, My name is Precious Celestine, and I will be sharing with you my project topic:-"US Birth Rate Analysis" I'm so excited to work on this project as I'm currently doing my internship with Quantum Analytics NG. Dataset was provided by Quantum Analytics NG. This dataset provides birth rates and related data across the 50 states and DC from 2016 to 2021. The data was sourced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and includes detailed information such as number of births, gender, birth weight, state, and year of the delivery. A particular emphasis is given to detailed information on the mother's educational level. These are the insights generated 1. Total number of birth 2. Total number of states 3. Top 10 states by number of birth 4. Average birth rate by educational level code 5. Total level of education 6. Number of birth by education level code 7. Average weight birth by education Special appreciation to the entire Quantum Analytics NG team, Jonathan Osagie, Prince Chukwuemeka (MCDAA, MCT), Abdullah Bankole, MCDAA GMNSE and Godswill Ojumeaka for their guidance and support..

For my senior capstone project, I had the opportunity to research a potential "why" behind the United States' growing maternal mortality rate: maternity care deserts (defined as any county without a hospital or birth center offering obstetric care and without any obstetric providers). During this research experience, my objective was to explore whether there was an association between these two variables, and if this differed between regions. Despite the numerous setbacks I faced whilst researching the topic and conducting statistical analyses, these experiences have once again highlighted the frustrating yet rewarding realities of the research process. Major thanks goes to my professor and supervisor, Dr. Sylvia Rozario, for supporting me in my research endeavors. With her guidance, I was able to prepare a poster highlighting my findings--as seen below! 🙂 This is my second poster and my first time conducting statistical analyses for a research project. Altogether, I'm thankful to have taken on this topic and completed this research internship! #WomaninSTEM
