Department life

Student life Students are trained to see health as unfolding in complex ecological systems.  They may measure the impact of individual choices on health, but they also ask questions about how societal factors, organizational culture, and public policy shape people’s decisions.  [more] Faculty life Faculty in the Department don’t simply talk about community.  They create it: through the students they recruit, the research studies they conduct, the classes they teach, and the opportunities they embrace for intellectual exchange.  [more] Staff life Staff members in the Department take their cue from faculty and students. Not only do they make sure everyone’s administrative needs get met, they actively contribute to the Department’s welcoming environment.  [more] Alumni life Many alumni go on to hold prominent appointments in a variety of arenas. They teach and carry out research in university settings; work with such organizations as Family Health International and Research Triangle Institute; hold leadership positions within the government sector (NCI, CDC) and around the world (WHO, CARE); or start up their own non-profits (Senior PharmAssist).  [more]
