Population Health: India- Same Life Different Reality by Nikki Creek

Nikki studied population health in India, where firsthand experiences reshaped her understanding of global health, privilege, and human connection. Working with community health nurses near Vellore, she researched issues such as childhood injuries, malnutrition, and HPV vaccination while learning how history, politics, and infrastructure shape health outcomes. Through deep cultural exchange and hospitality, Nikki gained a more grounded, global perspective and encourages future students to study abroad with humility, preparation, and an open mind.
