Each year, the ERHD program graduates outstanding students who have shown their remarkable knowledge, interest, passion, and skills associated with ethnic and rural health disparities throughout their year within the ERHD program. As Director of the ERHD Program, I am extremely proud of all of our ERHD students and ERHD graduates who are showing that they are changing the way our public health and medical fields address health disparities in all communities particularly among ethnic and rural health disparity groups.
In this ERHD update, I want to highlight the accomplishment of Marc Stevens, Jr. – an ERHD 2012 graduate. Marc Stevens completed his ERHD certificate and MPH degree from East Carolina University in 2012. Next, he entered the doctorate public health program in epidemiology at East Tennessee State University. During the past couple of years, he has worked continuously on his doctorate public health degree and now completing his dissertation work this spring 2015. He will graduate this spring with a doctorate in Epidemiology from East Tennessee State University (Johnson City, Tennessee).
Marc has also steadily presented his research at major national conferences. Recently, Marc was honored as the Emerging MCH Graduate Student at the Association of Maternal and Child Health Program (AMCHP) conference. Check out his interview right here!
