Student Practicum (APE) Spotlight: Zara Khan, Ibis Reproductive Health

Category : #WeAreEmoryEPI

Zara Khan, 2nd Year EPI MPH

Undergrad: Rice University, Cognitive Sciences

Research Interests: Sexual and reproductive health, developmental origins of human disease

Summer Practicum Experience: I spent the summer working on my dream practicum in Oakland, CA with Ibis Reproductive Health, a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing rigorous research and principled partnerships to advance sexual and reproductive autonomy, choices, and health worldwide. My work mostly entailed quantitative and qualitative analysis for several projects, including a randomized controlled trial of a smartphone app to provide women in Indonesia access to information about medication abortion. After my summer internship, I have continued my work with Ibis as a consultant. My supervisor, Ruvani (also a Rollins Epi grad!), remains one of my most trusted mentors, helping guide my trajectory both at RSPH and within the SRH field.
