Public Health Interest Group

The Public Health Interest Group aims to cultivate student interest in public health, connect students interested in public health, and explore the interface between public health and the practice of medicine as young professionals. We seek to develop opportunities and initiatives to create tangible change in the greater Lexington community and state of Kentucky.

We seek to carry out these goals by hosting events where students can learn about topics such as health literacy, immigrant health issues, how problems with transportation can affect a patient's health, and more! As a new organization, we are working toward implementing public health projects and volunteer opportunities that will benefit vulnerable populations in Lexington.
