Proud to see our MD-MPH students step into the role of peer reviewers during their simulated study section. Over the semester, they critically evaluated research proposals, engaged in thoughtful discussion, and ultimately identified the top four projects for funding.
It is a privilege to teach and mentor the next generation of public health physicians as they develop the skills to advance impactful research.
