Ava Licht ’23, a College of the Holy Cross psychology major with a neuroscience minor in the Health Professions Advising program, was looking for a summer internship that would provide experience for students like her with aspirations to continue their education in medical school for psychiatry. This summer, Licht joined the psychiatry department at Massachusetts General Hospital as a clinical research intern in the Depression Clinical and Research Program (DCRP), investigating ways of using innovative technology to assist medical professionals in monitoring changes in patients’ depression symptoms.
