An Amgen Scholars Journey From Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México to the University of Tokyo

When I was a high school student, I took a serious interest in biology and chemistry, and I always asked my teachers: "But how did they find that out?"

When Cameron Clarke was first assigned a policy brief as an Amgen Scholar at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2016, it was the start of something big: a career in public health policy.

Recognizing Who Puts the ‘Care’ in Healthcare

Healthcare is a hot topic – who gets it, who pays for it, who insures it. Oftentimes, though, there’s something lost in the discussion and that’s who provides our healthcare. Specifically, who are the people employed to care for others and what are the challenges they face? In some ways, these questions, and their answers, are the most fundamental to hospital and patient outcomes. It’s these doctors, nurses, administrators and support staff who are key to the quality of our entire healthcare system.
