After just day one (of four) of the thesis presentations, I have to say I am impressed. Not only was it nice to see high quality, well-presented work, but it was even better to finally see what everyone had been up to all term! What was the most impressive was the wide variety of topics that students undertook from program evaluations on the elderly by examining the Bridge program here at DHMC to how to treat malnourished children in Mahipat-Mau, India. Students performed systematic reviews on soft drink consumption and obesity and wrote grant proposals to further explore the maternity leave policy here in the U.S. This session really showed me the great breadth of knowledge we have all learned this year and the innumerable applications for it all. Although everyone chose one track and focused on a specific topic, we all have the skill set to evaluate programs, implement action plans, perform research, write grant proposals and so much more. I can honestly say I am looking forward to seeing more (and the fact we're getting more yummy snacks tomorrow doesn't hurt either.)
