A student committed to public health and adolescent medicine
Adolescents can fall into a medical “no man‘s land” between pediatrics and adult medicine, said Upstate student Nicole Cifra, whose interest and work in the treatment of teens helped win her a U.S. Public Health Service Excellence in Public Health Award. Cifra, who will receive an MD/MPH degree in 2016, talks about the public health aspects of adolescence, especially eating disorders, and sees hope for the future.
