D.C. Council member David Catania (I-At-Large) announced today that he has accepted a position in the School of Public Health and Health Services after a unanimous decision by the University’s Committee on Appointments, Promotions and Tenure."I am very excited about the opportunity to teach at the GW School of Public Health; I look forward to sharing our experiences in the District of Columbia with the students," Catania said in a statement according to DCist. "The number and complexity of the health care challenges that we confront in the District are fascinating subjects for advanced study in health policy."
According to a press release, Catania will host periodic lecturers on issues of importance in health, law and policy for law students, graduate students and PhD candidates in the Public Health and Policy program. In order to avoid any conflicts of interest, Catania will not be paid for the teaching position.
SPHHS is the only public health school in the District and Catania believes that “We are very fortunate to have a nationally recognized school of public health in our city. It is something that our government should take better advantage of.”
