Summary

I'm Poojitha H P, currently pursuing an MPH degree at the University of New Haven. I hold a Pharm D degree from M S Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences in Bangalore, India, with a strong foundation in Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics, especially in my later years of study. During my academic journey, I actively participated in over two community-based programs, including the Pulse Polio Program.

In addition to my academic background, I'm dedicated to expanding my knowledge through online certification courses in areas like Summary Statistics in Public Health, Design and Interpretation of Clinical Trials, and Hypothesis Testing in Public Health from John Hopkins University. In September 2021, I completed my Pharm D and subsequently joined Amura Healthcare as a junior Health Coach. I've also had the opportunity to present a case report at a national-level conference and attend approximately 10 conferences in my field of interest, which has helped me grow my professional network and fill knowledge gaps.

Furthermore, I have expertise in designing and planning animal experiments, handling animals (rats and mice), and administering drugs through various routes (such as oral gavage, intraperitoneal, and intravenous). I possess technical skills in R-programming, Microsoft Excel, protocol development for research projects (including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and differential gene expression studies), and proficiency in operating statistical software like SAS and MS-Office tools. I'm also experienced in conference presentations and research article writing.

Currently, I serve as a Health Coach at Amura Healthcare since October 4th, 2021. Additionally, I have recently enrolled in the Master of Public Health (MPH) program at the University of New Haven and am on track to graduate in May 2024.
