× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

What was your internship with CDPH?

During my internship, I worked on the Open Opportunities initiative with the Office of Professional Development & Engagement (OPDE) and the Fusion Center. I also had the chance to participate in various other projects in OQPA while attending impactful trainings and professional conferences. 

How did your internship help you get to where you are today?

My internship provided me with valuable hands on experience working in a dynamic State Public Health Department. My assignments provided me with an excellent opportunity to improve the quality of my work and develop the skills that are necessary for success in the Public Health field. My internship reinforced my desire to pursue a career in Public Health and inspired me to choose a path in State service.
