Best professional advice: My advice to students interested in social justice or health care work would be to explore your passions, and work hard to forge relationships with professionals working in the settings or serving populations that you are passionate about in order to gain experience in the field. These mentors will help you gain valuable insight into the field, provide opportunities to expand your network and working knowledge of resources and organizations pertaining to your passion, and serve for great references in the future.
