Your Perspective Is the Missing Piece of the Puzzle: Join IAPHS Today!

Science doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and neither does health.

At the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS), we believe that the toughest health challenges of our time — from health equity to environmental impacts — can only be solved when we step outside our specific niches.

Whether you are an epidemiologist, a sociologist, a policy analyst, or a practitioner, your perspective is the missing piece of the puzzle.

“IAPHS played a significant role in shaping my career through its strong mentorship program. I met my mentor, Dr. Alexander Tsai, through the IAPHS mentorship match as I was finishing my PhD. His support and guidance have been a steady anchor at every major inflection point in my career, helping me make pivotal decisions, navigate transitions, and grow into new roles with clarity and confidence. As a health economist and decision scientist focused on value optimization and efficiency, I also deeply appreciate how IAPHS keeps health equity front and center, which helps me stay grounded and balanced in how I approach population health questions.”
–Dr. Ryan Suk

“I joined IAPHS during my second year as a PhD student at UTHealth Houston on my professor’s recommendation, and it quickly became one of the most valuable professional decisions I have made. Over four years of presenting at the IAPHS conference, I learned how to connect ideas across fields, from health care management to population health, and turn those conversations into better research questions. As I move forward as a junior faculty member, IAPHS continues to be the community that fuels the interdisciplinary work I love.”
