One this page I have displayed several papers and presentations I have completed that display inter-professional collaboration and application of knowledge and skills gained throughout the MPH program.
In the first semester, I completed two group projects.
- I was a part of an inter-professional team consisting of students in the Doctor of Physical Therapy and Nursing programs. We all contributed to the content for an informative resource brochure on Type 1 Diabetes that would be easy to understand for a patient or family member of a patient with Type 1 Diabetes. The brochure was presented to the program director in November 2020.
- I was part of an MPH student only team where we looked at the behavior of vaping in adolescents and discussed the prevalence of the behavior and health outcomes before suggesting an intervention. The Executive Summary was presented to the program director in December 2020.
