Dr. Steven P. Wallace, the late professor of community health sciences at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, has been honored by the Journal of Aging and Health with a special edition as a tribute to his work as a leader in the field of minority aging research.
A UCLA Fielding School of Public Health program that aims to strengthen the public health workforce by introducing a diverse pool of undergraduates to the field through an eight-week residential summer program has received more than $3 million in funding over the next five years from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity. The Fielding School’s UCLA Public Health Scholars Training Program was one of seven such programs across the country selected to collaborate as part of CDC’s newly established John R.
The world’s most influential researchers include 39 UCLA scholars - and five of them are faculty at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.
Dr. Donald Morisky served as vice-chair in the Department of Community Health Sciences from 1994 to 2003 and chair from 2004-2005. His research is directed to both chronic and infectious diseases, specifically the risk factors for cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and elevated cholesterol), tuberculosis control and HIV/AIDS prevention.
