About Me

The Public Health Doctoral Students Association exists to provide doctoral students, both Ph.D. and Dr.PH, and masters students interested in doctoral studies within the Mailman School of Public Health with an organization unique to their interests. Doctoral students are a minority within the School of Public Health, and their academic and long-term interests are often not addressed by other student organizations. Through the Public Health Doctoral Students Association, doctoral students and masters students interested in doctoral studies may network between departments and collaborate together to press concerns unique to doctoral study.
The Public Health Doctoral Students Association will promote its mission by:
(1) Organizing meetings of doctoral students throughout the School of Public Health to address academic, financial, and social concerns that transcend departments;
(2) Developing orientation activities specific to doctoral students and those interested in doctoral study;
(3) Providing masters students with information on future doctoral study;
(4) Sponsoring forums within the School of Public Health where doctoral students can present their research; and
(5) Advocating for the needs and concerns of its members.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All doctoral students at Mailman
***UPCOMING EVENTS***
Minority Health Advocacy Conference
On Friday November 16th & Saturday November 17th, the students of the Columbia University Medical Campus will proudly be sponsoring the Inaugural Minority Health Advocacy Conference.
The purpose of this two-day conference is to not only highlight the health inequalities affecting gender, sexual and ethnoracial minorities, but to focus on the future and the positive strides that have been made by those working to make a difference in and around these communities.
We seek your help in identifying individuals who will serve as workshop facilitators, speakers, and action group leaders. Specifically, we are looking for the following: 1 Welcome/ Keynote Speaker; 6 Workshop Facilitators; 2 Action Group Leaders; 1 Breakfast and 1 Lunch Plenary Speaker; 4 Panel Discussion Members.
The Welcome/ Keynote and plenary speakers will address the intersectionality of health and minority (i.e., gender, sexual and/or ethnoracial) populations.
Workshop facilitators will host groups focusing on a key aspect of minority health (e.g., immigration, sexual rights, etc.).
Action group leaders are charged with hosting applied advocacy groups that have the goal of producing a plan of action to empower a specific population and/or issue.
If you know of anyone (faculty, student, community leader, friend, ally) who would like to assist in any of the aforementioned categories, or would like to have more information regarding the conference, please contact Moya Brown at [email protected].
