Having completed her Masters in Public Health from UNC-Charlotte, Meghan Kusper Wally (2012) (shown far left in photo) is currently a research coordinator at Carolinas Healthcare. She is working on a reserach project with prescription drug overdose reaching 10,000 patients every month. As she shares, “My supervisor has a Ph.D. in public health and is a very accomplished researcher, so I’m learning a lot. She gives me a lot of independence to come up with ideas for papers and grants and writing those, so I feel very challenged and fulfilled. We are certainly intervening at the population level, which is exciting and why I switched from medicine.”
