Miriam E. Brailey Fund

Jonathan Samet, MD, MS, former chair of the Department of Epidemiology, established this fund in honor of Dr. Brailey, who received her MD in Medicine in 1930 and her doctorate degree in Epidemiology in 1931. Dr. Brailey was one of the first doctoral students in the Department of Epidemiology, and she also joined the Epidemiology faculty after graduation as its first female faculty member and taught with Wade Hampton Frost, the founding chair. The scholarship supports graduate training and research in epidemiology.
