“YSPH taught me the value of balancing public health scholarship and practice. While taking coursework in topics ranging from health disparities to the legal underpinnings of the healthcare safety-net, I also became involved with the HAVEN Free Clinic. Through these parallel experiences in and outside of the classroom, I feel better prepared to make impacts in both domains.”
