My journey into public health began with my clinical training as a dentist and medical officer in India. Wanting to move beyond treating individual patients and address health challenges at the population level, I pursued an MPH in Environmental Health and a Certificate in Epidemiology at the University of Illinois Springfield.

More importantly, the program connected classroom learning with meaningful, real-world public service opportunities.

Background: Youth-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) is an increasing public health concern, especially among adolescents facing socioeconomic challenges.
