After graduation, Mohammed Moumen is attending grad school to continue his education and achieve his goal of helping to alleviate health care disparities in underserved communities.

Moumen had the opportunity to have numerous hands-on educational experiences during his college career, including working at the Ohio State optometry clinic.

Undergraduate research was a big part of Moumen's experience at Ohio State, and he participated in the university's Denman Forum in February.

Major: Public health

When Mohammed Moumen moved to the United States at the age of 12, he began to understand the health care disparities facing minority communities. During his time as a public health student at Ohio State, he found a variety of ways to attack those inequities.

He shadowed physicians, evaluated insurance forms and completed research on hookah warning labels, which he presented at this year’s Denman Forum.

“Ohio State has helped me find what my true passions are,” Moumen said. His experience showed him that he wanted to become a physician who serves and educates underserved populations.

After graduating, Moumen will take the next step in his journey by attending Wake Forest to pursue its MD/MPH program. Moumen hopes it’s the next step toward his larger goal.

“It’s important that I work in a community hospital where I can continue doing research to learn how to bridge the gaps between levels of socioeconomic status and health care,” he said.
