Sang Nam Ahn's doctoral work completed


The School of Rural Public Health is extraordinarily pleased to announce that one of our doctoral students has successfully defended his capstone project and will be awarded his diploma this December. Sang Nam Ahn came to SRPH just a few short years ago after completing his degree at the Bush School. Last week, he presented the results of his capstone work on obesity in the elderly in the US and China. The work was very well received by all members of his committee. His committee included Dr. Charles D. Phillips as chair, Dr. Catherine Hawes, Dr. Charles Huber, Dr. Ming Tai-Seale, and Dr. Bita Kash.

It is very likely that next year Dr. Ahn will be engaged in a post-doctoral fellowship program. I hope that all of you congratulate him on his achievement.

Charles D. Phillips, PhD, MPH
