The 28th Annual MPH Practicum Symposium and Reception (In-Person Event)

The Annual MPH Practicum Symposium is a celebration of community-engaged learning, innovation, and impact, driven by public health graduate students. Over 100 MPH students will share the incredible work they’ve done over the past year in partnership with communities around the world.  View Program and RSVP to Attend: https://sph.washington.edu/mph-practicum/symposium The Practicum is an essential part of the MPH candidate experience as it enables our students to take what they’ve learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world of public health. The Practicum also exemplifies our School’s commitment to community-based learning and partnerships. MPH students work under the supervision of both academic and public health agency mentors to advance the work of Public Health. We are delighted to honor our students’ hard work as well as faculty mentors and public health practice agencies that provide our students will invaluable practice-based projects and experiences each year. Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Student Union Building (HUB). Campus room: HUB Ballroom. Accessibility Contact: Chelsea Elkins, sphaccess@uw.edu. Event Types: Academics.

Wednesday, April 8, 2026, 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. For more info visit sph.washington.edu.

Biostatistics Seminar: Robust methods for meta-analysis of dose-response relationships.

Speaker: Aleksandr Aravkin, PhD, Associate Professor, UW Department of Applied Mathematics; Director, Math Sciences, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation; Adjunct Professor, Health Metrics Sciences, Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science & Engineering Presentation: Robust methods for meta-analysis of dose-response relationships.  Abstract: We present the Burden of Proof framework, a set of innovations for meta-analysis to improve estimation of nonlinear dose-response relationships as well as provide additional metrics for broader comparisons of risk-outcome relationships to each other. We discuss technical challenges in modeling nonlinear risks and incorporating reported observations, as well as robust trimming strategies to reduce sensitivity to outliers. Shifting to new metrics and cross-pair comparisons, we define a burden of proof risk function: a quantile of the risk curve that represents a conservative effect size consistent with the available evidence after accounting for uncertainty… Event interval: Single day event.
