Project Description:
The University of Memphis School of Public Health is excited to invite high school students to participate in Public Health IDEAS Club. The RE-AIM Public Health IDEAS Club is a high school initiative aimed at engaging students in public health issues, fostering their development as future health leaders and community advocates.
Our mission is to empower high school students with practical skills and knowledge in public health through innovative workshops, community-based research and public health campaigns. Learn how to support your community’s health and well-being with student-led projects and initiatives following our Public Health in Action Curriculum (also available with iEARN).
“The initiative is built upon the relevance of transforming ideas into implementation for solving pressing public health challenges of the 21st century through Research, Skills, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.” Dr. Ashish Joshi, Dean and Distinguished Professor at the University of Memphis School of Public Health.
Built on 4 Pillars of Coping, Adaptability, Resilience, Empathy (CARE), students will be facilitated by experts in the field to come up with out-of-the-box solutions to address common public health challenges in local and global settings. We encourage creative, innovative and out-of-box thinking that will help translate ideas into designing and developing public health solutions to support community health and well-being.
