Elizabeth Delgado
Health Care Career Pathways Intern
I recently graduated from SPU in 2025 and plan to take a two-year gap before applying to medical school. In addition to working as an intern, I also serve as a technician at a cataract and laser center while conducting research on how baby-carrying sling designs impact locomotor efficiency. Working with HCCP has been a privilege, giving me the opportunity to guide students as they develop into leaders within their communities and future roles in healthcare.
