Jules Teichert, MPH, is the partnerships manager for the Center for Integration Science in Global Health Equity at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She holds a master’s in public health from Florida International University and a bachelor’s in allied health–medical sciences from the University of Tampa.

Teichert started her career in patient care, working as a certified nursing assistant in a long-term-care facility during the COVID-19 pandemic. That role fueled her interest in public health as she witnessed severe inequities in health care.

After embarking on her graduate program, Teichert transitioned to development work at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. There she worked to secure support for future physicians during a time of extensive growth at the organization. She also gained a passion for development work and advancing health-oriented organizations through financial means and partnerships.

While completing her MPH, Teichert worked as a graduate research assistant on an initiative to evaluate the impact of transitions in care intervention to reduce health disparities among African American and Latino/Hispanic patients being discharged from the hospital with chronic illness and co-occurring mental illness.
