At Lehman College's Health Equity, Administration, and Technology Department (HEAT), I gained invaluable experience that connected my academic learning with real-world applications. This program not only deepened my understanding of health equity but also equipped me with essential administrative and technological skills. The supportive professors provided me with guidance as well as fostering a collaborative environment that helped me prepared for a successful career in the field.
