Khan, MD, MPH, Dean, University of Nebraska Medicine Medical Center College of Public Health: 1) "Public health can be political... We cannot be perceived as partisan." 2) "There are 39 credited public health schools and 77 credited programs in red states.

"We'll see, time will tell." 4) "Public health has long been viewed as an invisible safety net - we cannot be invisible anymore." 5) "We're all scientists. We should have a sense of curiousity." Speaker: Mark Mioduski, Principal and Director, Cornerstone Government Affairs: (1) U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) funding in 2025 is "a wild card."
