Dr. Mandy Hill is a dedicated public health practitioner who serves as Professor and Inaugural Chair of the Department of Population Health and Health Disparities at the School of Public and Population Health at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB). She earned her DrPH in Disease Control, with minor concentrations in Health Promotion and Health Management and Policy, at the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health in 2007.
Dr. Hill brings over 20 years of research experience in both clinical and community environments to the population and public health fields. While her research has continually improved the health of populations, her role as Chair affords the opportunity to amplify the magnitude of impact to a broader cross-section of the population through the collective work of her faculty.
Dr. Hill continues to lead research aimed at extending sexual health to all people. She continues to develop behavioral interventions with innovation and cultural relevance that aim to motivate the adoption and maintenance of healthy sexual behaviors that include the use of practical prevention tools like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), person-centered decision making, and prioritization of psychosocial constructs that consider non-medical drivers of health.
Dr. Hill's academic portfolio is evidence of her commitment to investing in future population and public health leaders through research, scholarship, education, and service in population health in Texas with a national and global reach.
