The DeBakey Cell Lab interns had another valuable and insightful professional development session. This Public Health Professional Discussion brought together experts from UT School of Public Health, Texas Woman's University, and Sam Houston University.

Interns were able to actively engage in a workshop that simulated various Public Health roles during a Salmonella outbreak in a school scenario, providing valuable hands-on experience. We are excited to see what the remainder of the summer holds for them!
