Aila Hoss, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at IU McKinney, is featured in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Public Health Law News online newsletter.

Professor Hoss participated in a question-and-answer interview for the newsletter’s Profile in Public Health Law feature. In addition to explaining how she became interested in public health and tribal public health law—two areas of professional and research interest—she details her work with students at IU McKinney and the law school’s Hall Center for Law and Health.

Prior to joining the faculty at IU, Aila served as a staff attorney for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Public Health Law Program (PHLP), where she worked to improve public health through the development of legal tools and the provision of legal technical assistance to state, tribal, local, and territorial governments. This included supporting the agency’s Ebola Emergency Operations Center and responding to legal research requests related to the Zika virus. At PHLP, she also served as the lead researcher for tribal public health law projects, a portfolio she conceptualized and developed upon her arrival to the program.
