Jeremiah Davis, MD, MPH is a recent graduate of Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC) and Jefferson College of Population Health (JCPH), who is preparing to start his residency program in Family Medicine at Duke University. “Jeremiah is dedicated, committed, hardworking and approachable. In the MPH program, he quickly realized that policy and advocacy were his passion. He worked hard to engage undergraduates in efforts to reduce and eliminate tobacco use on campus,” states MPH Program Director, Rosie Frasso, PhD, MSc, MSc, CPH. Jeremiah believes the skills he’s gained will transfer to many other projects in the future.
Reflecting on the connections between medicine and public health, Jeremiah explains, “ I think a foundational public health knowledge is essential to any healthcare provider that practices in primary care in any facet. As providers, we must collectively do a better job of understanding and helping to address the upstream factors of our patients’ disease presentations.”
“Receiving this recognition motivates me to keep going with my work to address health equity in this country. I’m excited to meet patients on a one-to-level, but also thrilled about the opportunity to continue practicing public health within the Duke Health System and Durham County.”
