Contact tracers gain real world public health experience
Dozens of University of Iowa College of Public Health students work part time as contact tracers for Linn and Johnson counties, identifying exposed residents and aiding local health departments in slowing the coronavirus spread. About 45 students serve Johnson County Public Health, with others in Linn County, as they gain hands on public health experience and consider future careers. Madison Snitker, a second year graduate student, says the job lets her see public health in action and plans to continue in the field after graduation.
