  • “This is my first conference. I’ve had a great experience networking and talking to people in my field. Sometimes public health can be really focused, and you feel like your interests might be different from everyone else’s, but here I’ve been able to find people who care about the same things as me.” — Tracey Tran, second year MPH student at Hofstra University

  • “I’m at APHA this year to present on the medical/dental mission in Uganda I went on with Bridge to Health. During our trip, it was important to us that we didn’t just show up and do good for the weeks we were there. We wanted to build real change and make sure we left locals with the skills needed to improve health.” — Brian Leibtog, BU Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine alumnus

  • “I came to APHA this year to reduce health disparities.” — Larisa Niles-Carnes of Emory University Rollins School of Public Health

  • “I’m here at APHA because I was encouraged by Professor Gene Declercq to submit a poster abstract, and not only was it accepted, but it ended up winning first place. Being here has opened up my eyes to so many new aspects of maternal and child health, and I’ve had a great time networking and learning new things.” — Rebecca Smeltzer, current MPH student at BUSPH
