EpiAssist is a student learning program at Texas A&M University that provides students with the opportunity to gain applied public health experience by assisting in Texas with outbreak investigations, disasters and emergencies, community health assessments, and other projects. EpiAssist activities are open to both graduate and undergraduate students on a volunteer basis. Any special requirements provided by the partners who request EpiAssist support will be provided in the Activity notification. Additional training and educational opportunities involving subject matter experts will be added to the program.
EpiAssist activities are coordinated by Angela Clendenin, PhD, MA, Instructional Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Texas A&M School of Public Health. Clendenin's past experience includes responding to public health disasters, including Hurricanes Rita, Ike, and Harvey; the West Fertilizer Plant explosion, the Bastrop Complex Wildfires, and the Blanco and Brazos River floods.
