“The initiative is built upon the relevance of transforming ideas into implementation for solving pressing public health challenges of the 21st century through Research, Entrepreneurship, Analytics, Informatics, and Management, (RE-AIM), along the pillars of Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Sustainability (IDEAS).”

The University of Memphis School of Public Health invites you to be part of an exciting global initiative that is transforming how we engage youth in public health: the RE-AIM Public Health IDEAS Club program. In today's rapidly changing world, the importance of public health has never been more evident. We have a unique opportunity to empower the next generation of leaders to address critical health challenges and create positive change in their communities.
This initiative offers students the chance to enhance their own well-being while making a positive impact on the broader community. Guided by experts in the field, students will be encouraged to develop innovative solutions and explore strategies for addressing common public health challenges in local and global settings. They will collaborate to create deliverables and tangible products and services focused on key topics that are specifically relevant and tailored to the needs of their school and community.
