Meet a few of our Alumni
Mae Rouhani
2013 BS, Public Health
2015 MPH, Family Child Health
"After taking an elective as a pre-med student and learning about human behaviors and society, and how discrimination can impact a person’s access to health education and health care, I decided to pivot to public health. At MEZCOPH I was able to put public health into practice and be a part of improving access to care and improving health inequities through my education."
Abraham Deng Ater
2010 MPH, Public Health Policy and Management
"I saw so much suffering on my long journey, and my education at the college gave me knowledge and skills that enabled me to help others so that they will suffer less, so I can help communities in my home country of South Sudan to live healthier and better lives."
Mallorie Fiero PhD
2016 PhD, Biostatistics
"As a PhD student I worked very closely with my Statistician advisor and she has helped me become the Statistician I am today by focusing on the topics of clinical trials and patient experience data. My advisor has really helped me to essentially lead in terms of evaluating patient reported outcomes in cancer trials at the FDA. I am forever grateful for the education and the support that I received at MEZCOPH."
