From Dentistry to Public Health: An M.P.H. Student’s Journey to Transform Global Public Health

Abigail Obeng-Ayirebi, M.P.H. Class of 2026, Moves from Ghana to the U.S. in Pursuit of Public Health

Abigail Obeng-Ayirebi, M.P.H. Class of 2026, is the eldest of seven, born and raised in Accra, Ghana. Her concerns about the appearance of her teeth contributed to her shy nature, ultimately motivating her to pursue a career in dentistry. Obeng-Ayirebi first earned a Bachelor of Medical Sciences at the University of Ghana before continuing to complete a Bachelor of Dental Surgery. After completing her medical internship, she worked at Nyaho Medical Centre and Passion Dental Clinic, a private practice. A desire to make a broader impact in her community inspired her to explore public health.
