CPH hosts 2nd Annual Student Case Competition

The College of Public Health hosted the 2nd Annual CPH Student Case Competition on Tuesday. With a focus on improving infant mortality in central Ohio, six teams of graduate and undergraduate students developed plans to increase community outreach and the enrollment of high-risk women into the Moms2B program. 

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center sponsored the event and provided the two winning teams with cash prizes: $1,500 for the first-place team and $750 for the second-place team.

A DOSE OF THE REAL WORLD: CPH student Ryan Yoder gets a head start on harm reduction

Ryan Yoder’s volunteer work at Safe Point began with small tasks: transporting syringes, handing out brochures on HIV and Hepatitis and restocking tourniquets. A year and a half later, he’s one of only three staff members supporting one of Columbus’s comprehensive harm reduction program for intravenous drug use.

Yoder had no idea that volunteering at Safe Point would be the beginning of a much larger journey that would have an impact not only on the clients he served, but on him as well.
