Ucheoma C. Nwaozuru, PhD

Assistant Professor, in the Department of Implementation Science at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. My training and research experience encompass qualitative research methodology, community-based participatory research, crowdsourcing, and social innovations for health. I leverage these principles to promote health equity, intervention adoption, and sustainability. My work primarily focuses on the adoption, dissemination, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, especially in resource-limited settings. Additionally, I am deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of researchers and public health professionals..
