About a month before graduating, Harry Daniels-Schatz got some exciting news: he\u2019d been selected for a prestigious Pathways Internship from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n
Harry will work this summer at the CDC and National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health\u2019s Spokane Research Laboratory. He\u2019ll be helping research the impact of stress levels and sleep patterns on the overall occupational health and safety of workers in the mining industry.<\/p>\n

Harry says he was drawn to public health in part because \u201cit\u2019s sort of like being a detective.\u201d He finds it invigorating to pinpoint the root causes and possible solutions for health issues that are impacting large segments of the population.<\/p>\n
Harry\u2019s main areas of interest in public health include epidemiology, global health, and health promotion\/education. He got a wide sample of hands-on experience working in these areas during his time as an EWU MPH student.<\/p>\n
Much of Harry\u2019s research as an MPH student focused on the health needs of people living on the margins in Spokane. One research project he did focused on examining the impact of Hepatitis-C among the Spokane homeless population. In another project, he conducted an emergency preparedness survey in the city\u2019s South Hill area that looked at the impact that education level within a household had on preparedness. Harry also helped Rockwood Clinic\u2019s Midwifery Center develop a partnership with World Relief to offer pregnancy and women\u2019s health education to former refugees living in Spokane as part of an MPH internship.<\/p>\n
Harry credits the diversity of faculty and students in EWU\u2019s MPH program for challenging him to look at public health challenges in new ways. He hopes to work internationally in a public health career, so he knows the diverse perspectives and experiences he got from his MPH at EWU will come in handy wherever his globe-trotting public health detective work takes him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
