Join us for our next November Virtual Information session!
Tuesday November 12, at 3:00PM (EST)
What could be more important than Maternal Health? As a Public Health concern, we are in a time when marginalized, racialized and immigrant communities are being deeply impacted by social, political, and healthcare inequities. In Brooklyn, a mother’s race can determine her chances of surviving childbirth, and the stakes are higher here than almost anywhere else in New York City. We have several Academic Partners addressing this concern in different ways. We hope that you will join us.
We are excited to invite you to an upcoming Information Session at the SUNY Downstate School of Public Health.
Join us to learn more about our program, curriculum, and the unique opportunities we offer to prepare the next generation of public health leaders.
Faculty and current students will be on hand to share insights, answer your questions, and discuss how our program can help you reach your career goals.
Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2025
Time: 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM (ET)
This session will give you the opportunity to:
- Learn how SPH equips students with the skills to thrive in an evolving public health landscape.
- Hear directly from faculty and current students about their experiences.
- Explore how our programs prepare you for impactful and innovative careers.
