Wen Min Chen (M.D. Student)
Freedman Student Fellow 2017–2018
Wen Min is a third-year medical student who will complete her M.D. in 2019. Her project, “Public Housing and Cleveland’s Health: Impacts Over Half a Decade Later,” explores current health trends and their correlation with public housing. One major aspect of her project is to study past construction materials and modern incidents of lead-poisoning. Despite a moratorium on lead paint for almost 40 years, Wen Min has pointed out that 14.2% of children in Cleveland still test positive for lead poisoning.
