Tijani Salami, MSPH 鈥24
"My field placement was with the Africa region of the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW). This experience proved invaluable as it provided me with hands-on practical knowledge in conducting research on various critical issues including child marriage, gender-based violence (GBV), childcare services, and women's social protection across Africa. It was an enriching experience that deepened my understanding of the complexities within these domains and strengthened my research skills."


Elena Kern, MSPH 鈥24
鈥淢y field placement was with CAF, the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, in the department of Social and Human Development in Quito, Ecuador. I joined the current stage of the respective projects which topics ranging from telehealth, mental health, water and sanitation systems and early childhood nutrition. It was a fascinating mix of public health program design and evaluation, strategic communication and considerations of the political environment.鈥
Jacqueline Nguyen, MSPH 鈥24
鈥淢y field placement was with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) where I interned in the Center for Mental Health Services. I was assigned to various projects which included an overview on federal programs aimed at improving maternal behavioral health, literature reviews on school-based and early child mental health interventions, as well as a presentation of a recent white paper for Project AWARE. This field placement really inspired me to focus my professional efforts on mental health and well-being in addition to physical health. I started the Public Mental Health Certificate program during my field placement and am on track to completing it this term.鈥


Emily Lasher, MSPH 鈥24
鈥淎t my field placement, I worked at the Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment at University of California, San Francisco on the Science and Policy team. In the position, I helped lead an umbrella review on the health effects of near roadway air pollution and an analysis of populations disproportionately exposed to traffic pollution in California. Over the summer, I also participated in the Title V Internship Program through the National MCH Workforce Development Center. I was placed at the Virginia Department of Health where I designed and implemented a data collection system for a home visiting program in the state.鈥
