The Drexel Urban Health Collaborative

On March 11th, the UHC hosted Dr. Edward Maibach, who spoke to us on developing and studying novel ways to effectively communicate the adverse outcomes of climate change.

The Urban Epidemiology Fellowship program is a new collaboration between the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH), the UHC, and Dornsife's Epi-Biostat Department. With the first fellowship shortly coming to a close, we've taken the opportunity to speak with the inaugural fellows of the program to hear the experiences with it, as well as get some insight into how they feel the fellowship will help with their career goals.

Each summer, hundreds of individuals from a variety of backgrounds and skill sets convene at Nesbitt Hall for the Urban Health Summer Institute to gain expertise to help make cities healthier and more equitable places to live.
