A dedication to serving populations experiencing the effects of health disparities led Nixon Ricardo Arauz to a career in health education, a Ph.D. candidacy at Virginia Commonwealth University and now a national fellowship learning from the nation’s top experts about using policy to create change at the local, state, national and global level.
Arauz, a third-year student in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Ph.D. program in the VCU School of Medicine’s Department of Health Behavior and Policy, recently completed a Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
While others have completed the fellowship program after graduating or having taught as faculty, Arauz became the first fellow in the program’s history to complete the program while enrolled as a student at VCU. But while Arauz knows he’ll carry forth the lessons he’s learned in the fellowship, it’s just one of many experiences he hopes will be a lesson to the students he wants to teach in the future.
“I would like for this to be part of my toolkit — to be able to enrich not only my trajectory as a researcher, but also the trajectory of my future students and colleagues,” Arauz said.
