THE NEXT GENERATION OF MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH LEADERS

"I came to Tulane SPHTM because of the Center of Excellence in Maternal Child Health (CEMCH) scholar program...Although the topic of maternal health can feel quite heavy at times, I believe having a supportive community and engaged peers made it easier to learn and discuss."

"Being involved in CEMCH has helped me feel connected to the Tulane community. I have gotten to know such intelligent and interesting people through this program and learned so much from them. This program has helped me solidify my future career goals and helped me develop the skills I need to achieve those goals. I really enjoyed my time in the CEMCH program so far and am excited for what's next."

"I have truly gained invaluable skills that have prepared me for the workforce, such as public speaking, networking, policy evaluation, and leadership competencies. CEMCH has also created connections that have landed me my Practicum Internship, which continues to kickstart my career in MCH..."

"After being in the CEMCH scholar program for only under a semester I feel as though I have found community and a safe space to discuss everything from topics ranging from the impact of racial inequities in clinical settings to where to get the best sandwiches in town! I have also had the opportunity to read a book I would never have picked up outside of this setting that has opened my eyes to a new way of looking at the world. Above all else, this program has allowed me to meet such a beautiful group of truly thoughtful and intelligent women that I know will have a profound impact on the world in whatever way they chose to do so."

"I have already learned so much! I have learned new ways to approach public health issues that plague the nation, ways to become a community asset...I appreciate the opportunities the program has awarded me such as attending American Public Health Association, interning at Planned Parenthood, and just getting the chance to meet an amazing group of people."
