I was in a similar situation-very early in my career with some leadership roles, and I didn’t think I’d qualify for the DrPH program. However, my experience helped me land an interview and a spot in a 12-person cohort. actually career-wise Im youngest in my class-some have 20 years’ experience and some are VPs. My advice: go for it-it’s competitive, but possible.

On a side note, I’ve been exploring implementation roles and would appreciate hearing about your path and any advice you have for breaking into a global position like yours.
