On this episode, I’m chatting with Eric Persaud about evaluation at the National Institutes of Health, including his work in the Worker Training Program at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. We also talked about his dissertation, how he got into the field of evaluation, and his experiences in conducting evaluation in general.
Eric Persaud received his doctorate in Public Health at the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, State University of New York-Downstate Health Sciences University. He focuses on evaluating and researching training programs related to preparing workers for emergencies and disasters, and hazardous workplaces. He has been involved in evaluation and research associated with fentanyl and first responders, opioids and the workplace, and protecting workers from COVID-19.
