Health Equity Fellowship Update
In August 2020, I became the Health Equity fellow, a fellowship that is jointly offered through Purdue University and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Health equity is the “absence of avoidable or remediable differences among groups of people, which can be socially, economically, demographically or geographically” (WHO, 2011). During this fellowship, I will rotate through Washington D.C., Indiana, and Kenya addressing various health equity gaps in each of these sites.
