Abstract
In fulfillment of the Master of Technical and Scientific Communication degree at Miami University (Ohio), I completed an internship in health communications at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, from January 2007 to December 2007. This report describes my experience as an intern in the office of the President's Cancer Panel (PCP), an advisory group of NCI that oversees the National Cancer Program. Chapter 1 provides background on the NCI and the PCP, as well as an introduction to my role as an intern in the Panel office. Details of my primary tasks throughout the year are described in Chapter 2 and a thorough account of my work on one major project is discussed in Chapter 3. The fourth and final chapter offers an analysis of the teamwork behind producing technical communications based on my experience as an intern with the Panel.
