MPH Students present at PHACBC Conference
Ellison Richmond, Claire O'Gorman, and Rachel Link, Master of Public Health students at the School of Population and Public Health, presented their posters in November 2011.
Ellison also presented one of nine, 4-minute 'rapid fire' oral presentations delivered to attendees, to "allow for a timely overview of a variety of work in BC that relates to reducing health inequities and the key action areas of the Ottawa Charter."
MPH student Delaram Farshad also volunteered at the event. Congratulations to all!
