CED Foundation

Publicity and Education Intern

June - August 2019 • Chestnut Hill, MA

What I liked

Working at CED Clinic was an educational and productive experience. As a publicity intern, my job was to research academic articles, news stories, and/or historical essays and translate them into digestible social media posts. The work itself was interesting, and I learned a lot about the medical and social histories of cannabis. Dr. Caplan gave me a lot of freedom in choosing which topics to research, so I often worked on projects that I was passionate about. I also appreciated the clear and concise feedback that Dr. Caplan gave me on my work. He didn't hesitate to tell me when he loved one of my projects or when he found something that I could edit or change. The work environment was positive and supportive. I worked with three other interns--we mostly worked independently but sometimes dabbled in group projects. Overall, my internship at CED Clinic was engaging and worthwhile.

What I wish was different

I enjoyed the company of all my coworkers, but we never had the chance to socialize outside of work. I would have appreciated an organized, social event to further bond with the team.

Advice

The publicity internship at CED Clinic caters to self-driven students who like to create their own projects. If you're interested in learning more about the cannabis industry from every angle (medical, social, and historical) and about creating content for social media (videos, images, and captions) then this internship could be a great match!

Public Relations and Data Analyst Intern

June - August 2019 • Boston, MA

What I liked

Working at CED Foundation where everyone is excited and self-motivated to explore opportunities within the cannabis industry was inspirational. I was able to work on projects that came up on a whim and felt fully supported by Dr. Caplan. There were multiple opportunities to collaborate with other interns and pursue solo-projects.

What I wish was different

As a person who is overly appreciative of clear directions, there were times when I felt that I was given more independence than I wanted during my first exposure to the industry.

Advice

If you are self-motivated and interested in engaging in the cannabis industry this is a great opportunity for you.
