"Applicants to the Health Policy & Management Program are asked to address their knowledge of the health care field gained from paid or voluntary experience; describe the origins of their interest in health policy, including past interest or involvement in management or policy-relevant activities; and describe their career goals as related to health policy and/or management."

I want to go to a top MPH school and get into a joint program with MBA. The trouble is I dont know where to go to gain experience in health policy, management etc. I plan on attending grad school right after undergraduate. I see how a lot of people take a year or two off to work in a public health sector, but can i do that while im still an undergraduate? what position do you guys work in? Bottom line is, i dont know where to find ec's related to health policy and management to express my interest and experience in it. (by the way im already volunteering in a hospital and researching in a lab)

Perhaps you could do a summer internship in DC or your state's capitol working on some kind of lobbying project for improving healthcare.
