Alumni Advance Careers in Medicine, Health Research
Case Western Reserve University Posse alum Anthony Nunnery and Tulane University Posse alum Albert Howell are advancing careers in medicine and health research, each building on experiences that began as Posse Scholars.
Anthony remained at Case Western after completing his undergraduate studies to pursue research and earn a master’s degree in biostatistics. He continues to serve as a research assistant at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences’ Center on Trauma and Adversity, where he contributes to research focused on social well-being.
Anthony’s work reflects an interest in using data to better understand health outcomes and support more equitable approaches to care across communities.
“Biostatistics gives me a way to connect data with real human outcomes,” says Anthony. “I am interested in research that helps us better understand the factors shaping people’s health and well-being, especially in communities that have not always been fully represented in that work.”
Anthony also remains connected to Posse, supporting the Case Western Posse community with his time and expertise.
“Posse has continued to be part of my life beyond graduation,” says Anthony. “Being able to support current Scholars and share what I have learned feels like a meaningful way to give back.”
Albert recently earned his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine and matched into emergency medicine at the University of Chicago. The residency match marks the next step in his medical training and follows his feature in Duke’s “Made for This” campaign, where he reflected on his path to medical school.
For Albert, emergency medicine offers the opportunity to care for patients during urgent and often uncertain moments.
“Emergency medicine asks you to think quickly, listen carefully and meet people in moments when they need care immediately,” says Albert. “That responsibility is what draws me to the field.”
Together, Anthony and Albert represent two different paths toward improving health outcomes.
Anthony’s work centers research, data and social well-being, while Albert’s training brings him closer to direct patient care in emergency medicine. Both are applying their talents to strengthen communities and improve lives. As they take the next steps in their careers, they exemplify the leadership, commitment and purpose that define the Posse network.
