Jocelyn Ulrich, MPH '08
Jocelyn is currently the External Partner Liaison for Global Investigator-Initiated Research (IIR) in the Medical Division of Pfizer. In this role she is the primary operational point of contact for government agencies, cooperative groups and networks seeing research support from Pfizer.
"I loved my time in the MPH. My coursework brought perspective to my day-to-day responsibilities and helped strengthen my understanding of clinical research in a global setting. My epidemiology and biostatistics classes were invaluable for my scientific review committee responsibilities, and my health policy classes have helped me draft informed policies that I hope will continue to facilitate collaborative research in my field. Most importantly, my Capstone project gave me the opportunity to conduct field research in Ghana and present the results of that research at a national academic conference."
