The University of Iowa Health Management & Policy Department’s Post

Graduation 2024 was a great celebration! We are thrilled to see the things these graduates will be up to in the coming years!

Final group of MPH students and their hard work. Please remember to stop by tomorrow, 4/30 from 10a-2pm in the CPH atrium to see all student's posters. Go Hawks!

Next Spotlights! Great work out of our MPH students and all their endeavors into the community.

Our MPH in Policy students have been doing great work this past year and it is time to highlight all their accomplishments. First up is Sophia and Kayla with their work in gerontology and sustainability within the community. Keep an eye out for more spotlights before the large poster session tomorrow!

Another fantastic opportunity for our first year MHA students! They recently had the pleasure of meeting with over 15 healthcare organizations from across the country at our fellowship fair. Many of our students will take their next career step in the form of a fellowship so this exposure to networking, information and much more is so valuable. Thank you again to all the organizations and current fellows that made the trip and to those who joined us virtually.

Second-year MHA student Hallie Vonk was featured for her work in establishing our Student Association for Rural Health (SARH) at Iowa. Hallie speaks from experience when she notes how keeping the focus on rural care yields so much opportunity for these communities. Check out the story coverage here! https://lnkd.in/gHtfGWRm

Our first year MHA students recently had the opportunity to visit Grundy County Memorial Hospital as well as Unity Point- Marshalltown Hospital. Thank you to our hosts Adam Scherling and Sheri King for showing the students your wonderful organizations.

Tune into this week's episode of the Rural Health Leadership Radio featuring MHA '23 alumni Alana Monson as she reflects on her interim experience as CEO at Manning Regional Healthcare Center.

Congratulations to Dr. Abdinasir Ali on the successful defense of his thesis! Thank you for this important work expanding our understanding of housing and health. We look forward to seeing where your career takes you, and wish you all the best on your postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard!
