A
lot of exciting things have been going on at the College of Public Health since my
last post. Today students of each department ate lunch with the Board of Advisors of the College. The Board is full of fascinating people, each involved
in public health in a different way. At
lunch, my table discussed health care reform and research in public health. Also, last week Master of Public Health
students had the opportunity to meet with Kennerly Chapman, current Associate
Director of the Program Management and Organizational Strategy in the FDA
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) Office of Compliance, Office of
Manufacturing Product Quality. Ms. Chapman provided us with really great information about applying to careers with the federal government.
