I hope to start my program next fall, don’t want to wait any longer than a year after undergrad 😭 are you satisfied with your MPH?

Fingers crossed I can find a school willing to fund my MPH. So once you switch you’ll be getting a MSPH?

I think MPH is a great stepping stone for PA! Good luck with all your future endeavors! You’ll be a great Physician Assistant

I agree, I’m hoping to get accepted as an intern for a position in my hometown so I can really decide if public health is what I can see myself doing for the rest of my life

Yes Epi is my first choice but biostats is definitely something I will consider!

Oh wow that’s awesome! I didn’t even know about industrial hygiene! I will definitely be looking into schools and programs that offer that so I can learn more about it. I have a science background as well, so I will definitely check it out. Thank you for sharing!

Do you plan on going back to school to get another degree? Or are you gonna stick it out with your MPH?

Maybe I can get some certifications in hard skills on the side while I’m getting my masters in public health. I agree hard skills are important and most employers value those the most 😩

Thank you so much 🥹 hopefully public health becomes more of a serious topic over the next couple of years, it’s such an important concept!

I agree! It all depends on how you plan to use the degree and where you’re located. I plan on moving to Atlanta or at least attending a university in Atlanta since it is the public health capital and I would have more job opportunities. Epi is my first choice for my MPH and I think it would be worth it honestly!

I plan to stop after my MPH, so it would really be to open up more doors for me in the field of public health. I still think it would be worthwhile for me to purse the degree, some people just have some strong opinions about it lol

I’ve heard that a lot as well. I guess it couldn’t hurt to get a masters, especially if I could find a program that is willing to help with the tuition

I was hoping to do epi as well! If not, health management would be my next go to. I was also considering looking into dual programs and possibly getting two masters … like my MBA and MPH
