The inaugural ARC cohort in Improving Population Health, Advancing Health Equity, offered by the School of Health, Environment and Sustainability Studies, TCG CREST, completed a research journey that took them from research discussions into the Sundarbans. Experiencing healthcare delivery in remote, climate-vulnerable communities offered valuable perspectives on the realities of health equity and the role of research in shaping community-rooted solutions. The journey culminated in their ARC Certificate Awarding Ceremony.
