Education and research opportunities
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.
Hosting students for a health equity-focused internship
We hosted four undergraduate students interested in health equity. The students interned with us from January through March 2024 as part of the Quarter at Aggie Square’s Advancing Health Care Equity experience.
Qualitative research discussion group
We host a biweekly qualitative discussion group that meets in-person and online via Zoom. The group is open to UC Davis students, faculty, and staff. Each session provides an opportunity to discuss qualitative methods and studies, ask questions, and seek guidance. Contact Melissa Gosdin or Kelcie Rodriguez for details.
