WHAT SCHOLARS SAY

Mandy Fretts

Dr. Amanda Fretts, KL2 Program Alumna

“One of the great parts of the KL2 program is that the scholars are from all different disciplines. The way I think about the optimal way to design an intervention may be different from the way other people think about it. It’s similar with grant reviewers: they could be coming from many different disciplines.” Amanda Fretts, PhD, MPH

“ITHS and particularly the KL2 program has been essential in this research. They have provided mentorship, a wonderful group of colleagues, and supported my salary and DCIS vaccine project to enable me to get this research done.” Sasha Stanton, MD, PhD
