While he was there, he started hearing about the work being done by a nonprofit called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.path.org\/\">PATH<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was working very closely with a number of groups at PATH,\u201d says Shoultz, \u201cand I became compelled and attracted to their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoultz, who has a doctorate in epidemiology, joined PATH almost two years ago to lead the organization\u2019s global drug development program. This international nonprofit focuses on global health, specifically working with women and children who are living in poverty around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PATH brings high-quality medications to people everywhere, whether or not they have the ability to pay for them.
