The ICHAD and SMART Africa Centers are going through an exciting moment in regards to training and creating a pipeline for young scholars. This year is particularly special given the numbers. Several ICHAD and SMART Africa colleagues will be moving on for further studies in the PhD, DrPH, and MPH programs. We are proud of each of these valuable team members who are taking the next step toward achieving their goals. We wish them all the best!
