Did you know that there are 155PHGIC Alumni?

As a small and uniquely trained group of public health researchers and practitioners, your connection with the PHGIC continues. If there is any way we can continue to serve you, please contact us.

During its eight years in existence the PHGIC has been a part of a major effort at the University of Michigan to explore how new genetic information and technologies could effect the health of populaitons. Its role has grown to not only serve the cohorts of students admitted to the IC, but to become a active facilitator and partner in the development of courses, events, internships, and collaborations on public health genetics that contribute to the entire school, university campus, and broader fields of public health.

We are exploring ways to continue to add value to your participation in the PHGIC and welcome your participation in this growth. We hope you will consider taking the three simple steps to actively contributing to and benefiting from the public health genetics at the University of Michigan School of Public Health:

1. Keep us posted about the developments in your life!

Please email sph.phgic.inquiries@umich.edu with updates regarding where you live or work, important events in your life, or to provide your thoughts and ideas. We love to receive digital pictures, too, and will only use them in materials if given permission on a release form.

2. Speak with current students and come to our events!

Your insights, advice, and experience can be a great resource to our students, whether it is about making the most out of graduate school or an area you are working in. Drop us a word if you would be available to correspond with a student or are coming to town and could speak with students or give a presentation. You are also always invited to attend PHGIC sponsored events on campus.

3. Contribute ideas, opportunities, and money!

When you encounter internship and job opportunities, or think of ways to improve the education of public health professionals in public health genetics, we will put them to good use.

A great way to make a difference is through the PHGIC. Did you know that when giving to the School of Public Health you can designate your donation for the PHGIC, or for research, faculty, internships, or scholarships to students in public health genetics? Please check out the website for giving to the School of Public Health and consider improving human wellbeing through a gift to the PHGIC.
