Experiential Learning Program - 2025 Spring

Highlights

January 2025

PH-IDEAS students embarked on an exciting journey with three dual enrollment courses: Health Data Analytics and Informatics (PUBH 3150), Public Health in Action (PUBH 3160), and Global Public Health Crises and Milestones (PUBH 3170). They delved into managing health crises, researching and interpreting health data analytics, and crafting innovative solutions to public health challenges. Some students also geared up for the World Federation of United Nations (WIMUN) New York Conference, following a similar process as their previous trip to Geneva, Switzerland. They diligently worked on their position papers, preparing to represent their assigned countries and discuss global health events in early February.

In addition, students took a computer science course to enhance their research methods and learn how to create programs to streamline public health information. Some students continued with ACT Prep courses to ensure they are college-ready for the future.

The Spring 2025 Program featured an immersive WHO simulation in New York City. PH-IDEAS students continued their studies in Health Data Analytics and Informatics, Public Health in Action, and Global Public Health Crises and Milestones. They explored the differences between cross-sectional and ecological studies, data collection in public health, and global insights on universal health coverage.

Our seniors returned from the World Federation of United Nations (WIMUN) New York Conference, where they represented their assigned countries and engaged in discussions on global health issues such as human rights, mental health, and climate change. Notably, one of our seniors won the Diplomacy Award for representing Nigeria in the ECOSOC Plenary.

As we progress through the program, we are thrilled to witness our students' growth and development in Public Health!
