“It [the fellowship] is of tremendous importance that companies like Pfizer engage HBCUs and foster greater diversity among BIPOC talent because it provides the opportunity to level the playing field and create a more equitable society for the future.” |
“…[The fellowship] will provide me with a platform to advance solutions for health inequity, increase healthcare for underserved populations, and create innovative approaches to disease prevention through public health research and practice." |
“This landmark partnership with Maryland’s preeminent public urban research university is the seminal public health fellowship within the Pfizer Biopharma organization,” said Ronika Alexander-Parrish, RN, MAEd clinical scientist at Pfizer, founding director of the Doctor of Public Health Fellowship in Vaccines Medical Development and graduate from Morgan’s SCHP DrPH program. “There are fewer than five HBCUs with DrPH programs in the United States.
