"I joined the EMP because it was a great opportunity to advance my skills so I could make a broader impact at UChicago Medicine and the Chicago community."

“I’ve always considered myself a bridge builder, and I think policy is a great way to do that. I would love to continue to develop my skills and figure out ways where I can impact policy through data and analysis.”

“My colleagues in the EMP have shared—and taught me ways to tap into—opportunities that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. I feel I am already better prepared for the next stage of my career."

“I had a knowledge gap in econometrics, and IPAL filled this gap for me. Both the classroom setting and the capstone project helped take my management skills in a new direction.”

I’m eager to learn the academic theory behind public policy; the concepts and ideas that underpin the way we look at development across the world, and especially in Africa."

“Overcoming that initial fear taught me to not be afraid to be in another country—to not be afraid of anything, really.”
