Through the COVID-19 Magnifying Glass: An Examination of Racial and SES Disparities in the United States
In this episode we speak to Becca Glenn, a recent graduate from the Master of Public Health program with a concentration in Epidemiology. She shares stories from her multiple internships, the latest being at the New York University Department of Public Safety. During her internship she worked on Ebola modeling and infectious disease preparedness. We also discuss her tips and suggestions on how we can best prepare for potential disasters in the future.
In this episode we talk to Jamie Webb, a philosopher specializing in applied ethics. He is a recent graduate of the MA in Bioethics program at NYU GPH who discusses the Bioethics field, his experience as an NYU student, his research and his views on controversial ethical issues. Amongst his other research interests, he is particularly looking forward to the opportunity to study the ethics of AI within healthcare decision-making, whether the increasing role of AI complicates ethical norms in healthcare, and how it could affect the doctor-patient relationship.
Dr. Danielle Ompad is an epidemiologist whose work is focused in the areas of urban health, HIV, illicit drug use, and adult access to vaccines. With respect to illicit drug use, her work has spanned the entire natural history of addiction – from initiation to cessation, with particular attention paid to risk for infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, and STIs. She has primarily worked with people who use heroin, crack, cocaine, and/or club drugs. Join us as we discuss the concept of harm reduction, drugs in the workplace and tackling the opioid crisis.
