ABOUT JACOB
Master of Public Health Hometown: Odessa, TX |
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE UNT Health COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH?
I chose the UNTHSC College of Public Health because of its strong emphasis on community-focused
health initiatives and research. As a dual-degree medical student, the program aligns
with my goal of integrating public health principles into clinical practice to address
health disparities and improve patient outcomes.
HOW DO YOU PLAN ON APPLYING THE KNOWLEDGE YOU GAIN TO YOUR FUTURE CAREER?
I plan to integrate public health principles into my medical practice by addressing
social determinants of health, improving healthcare access, and advocating for evidence-based
policies. My goal is to bridge the gap between clinical care and population health
to create meaningful change.
