Public Health is the future. During the past 50 years there has been a 30 year increase in global life expectancy, the greatest seen in human history. It has been estimated that 25 years of the increase has been due to public health/prevention. Because of people who work in public health, the world is healthier than it has ever been.
Public Health is a great career for people who want to make a difference. It is not boring. We are in public health and we love it. We want you to talk to you, for you to consider training with us.
People work in public health with backgrounds in diverse disciplines including Engineering, Medicine, Anthropology, Nursing, Physics, Environmental Sciences, Nutrition, and Exercise Science. We need people with bachelor’s degrees; we need those with M.D., DVM, and Ph.D. degrees as well. You can come fresh out of college, or senior people might consider a degree while taking a sabbatical. Ours is an inherently interdisciplinary field.
We are recruiting students with an interest in working directly in public health and those who are interested in doing public health related research. We are looking for students to enter our PhD program in Epidemiology and in Community Health and our MPH or MS degree programs.
We offer are many exciting programs of research including foci on cancer, environmental health, heart disease and diabetes, molecular epidemiology, international epidemiology, nutrition, physical activity, genetic epidemiology and women’s health.
Come to the workshop to learn more about the exciting opportunities we can offer.
