Population Studies Training Program Director and Mentors

The Population Studies Training Program is led by Drs. Audrey Dorelien and Tracy Kugler who are MPC’s Training Directors. The program’s faculty mentors—an outstanding team of interdisciplinary faculty mentors—engage trainees with integrative, groundbreaking research and provide purposeful professional socialization. MPC Population Studies Trainees typically have two mentors, one in their disciplinary home and one in another field that aligns with their research interests.
