Confused about my choice of Degree?

sapphire_wisdom asked:

I have always liked to work in a place such as the Red Cross/UN/WHO. And I like to do something related to health. I was planning to do a degree in Public Health. But I dont want to be totaly involved in health only. I like to do other things such as Social work, Community work etc. My main interest is field work and helping to prevent diseases etc in poor communites - but along with this I would like to help in other ways.
So what kind of a Degree do you think would suit me?…Public health (Major) and something else?

I am interested in attaining a Master’s in Public Health before going to Medical school, then?

CandyKisses asked:

Which track is better?

I am applying to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ, but I need help deciding which track will be more helpful for medical school.

Ive already decided to attain the MPH degree, but they have 3 divisions that seem relevant in helping me become a better doctor.

1.Quantitive Methods:Biostatistics and Epidemiology

2.Urban Health Adminstration

3.Health Education and Behavorial Science

Just a quick question for those that know about these things
Im not going to graduate school because I think it will boost my chances of getting into medical school. But a masters in public health is DEFINITELY a relevant degree for doctors. Thus, that is why many schools are offering MD/MPH programs now. So my question, for those out to help, is, which program would help me better IN medical school

Robyn asked:


I am seriously considering majoring in Public Health with a concentration in Health Administration, and minoring in management. I know people say anything in the health-care field is good, but i’m not sure what kind of job I can get, what kind of job security this major has, salary, etc.. I also want something that I can easily find a job in. I want to know that as soon as I graduate it will be easy for me to find a job. Anyone know anything about this major/minor?

Career Opportunities with a Public Health Degree?

Anonymous asked:


Hey, I am a 20 yr old student in my third year of college. My major is Public Health with a concentration in Health Studies. I was curious as to what types of jobs are typical for someone with a degree in this field. Also , excluding the usual factors. What can someone hope to make in this field as far as salary is concerned. I am not interested in pursuing a Masters, so my questions will pertain more to someone with a Bachelors in Public Health.

Thanks
