Applied Public Health Research Day

Creating student research opportunities

We hosted more than 120 students, faculty and staff who attended the first Applied Public Health Research Day in April 2023. They got the chance to learn and network as students and postdoctoral scholars presented public health research.

The event, hosted with the Graduate Group in Public Health Sciences and Healthy UC Davis, included posters from undergraduate, graduate and medical students, as well as postdoctoral scholars, fellows and staff from UC Davis campuses in Davis and Sacramento.
