The Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health is celebrating its largest cohort of doctoral graduates, an achievement that signals both the school’s rapid growth and the rising demand for public health leadership. A total of 28 doctoral students will participate in commencement ceremonies this year.

Orange County voters sour on Trump and Newsom |
|
|
The latest UCI-OC Poll from the School of Social Ecology reveals a deeply frustrated electorate that holds President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom in low regard, remains skeptical about the direction of the country and state, and has yet to rally around any single candidate in this year’s gubernatorial race. “As one of the very few purple counties in America, what happens here in Orange County is a reflection of what’s going on nationwide,” said Jon B. Gould, poll director and dean of the School of Social Ecology. “If so many voters here are dissatisfied, that should be a big warning sign to this administration that there is a problem they need to address – and soon.” |

Electroacupuncture shows promise |
|
|
|
UC Irvine researchers have found that targeted electroacupuncture improved attention and reduced psychological distress in breast cancer survivors in a pilot clinical trial. They observed associated brain changes and noted that larger studies are needed to confirm electroacupuncture as a safe and effective integrative treatment option. “Patients often report feeling unprepared for the cognitive and emotional challenges that persist after treatment,” said Alexandre Chan (above), professor and founding chair of the Department of Clinical Pharmacy Practice. “We need robust scientific evidence to show how effective interventions can be integrated into their treatment in order to reduce survivors’ symptoms and improve their healing journeys.” |

UC Tech News: From Print to Patient |
|
|
|
Academic medical centers are document-intensive environments. Clinical staff print sensitive patient records, medication orders, lab results and care plans – often at high volumes and across departments and multiple campuses. UCI Health partnered with LRS Output Management, a print management company, to modernize the way it handles paper. They designed an end-to-end, secure, intelligent document workflow and transformed how the information technology team and thousands of clinical end-users interact with paper documents every day. |
