  • I f you are about to start or thinking of doing a Master of Public Health degree, then this video will tell you what you should expect from the program. An MPH is an excellent stepping stone into a public health or global health career. If you're wanting to work on local public health problems or international public health, then doing an MPH is usually a requirement. In your Masters in Public Health or an MSc in Public Health you'll learn about epidemiology, statistics, health policy, health economics and more. These subjects will then be applied to domains of public health including health protection, health promotion, health intelligence and health services improvement. It's an exciting time. Enjoy being a student.

    This has been very helpful, thank you so much for this. I find public health interesting because it not only has the life science focus, it also has the social science focus.
    This gives me a more holistic approach to addressing health issues in a population while I can even use a reductionist approach for specific health issues.

    Thank you Greg! I had watched several videos on public health and read job ads but still couldn't figure out what it really involved and all the different areas. Your video was so clear and informative. I have a question. I'm interested in public health but my bachelor's is in sociology. I studied some relevant areas (stats, social determinants of health, anthropology). Do you need a health/medical background for MPH and would I have poor career prospects without that experience? I'm wondering what educational backgrounds you see enrolling in a MPH.

    • @khas684
      @khas684 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@Yandy_x My impression is there's too much competition with those from health profession backgrounds. PH jobs in my city often want people with professional health experience, any health-related degree, skills in project management, data analysis, research etc. but rarely require MPH. I'm interested in nursing so am considering becoming an RN, then maybe a master's if I'm still interested in PH. Looking at job ads it seems more valuable to first be a health professional, then get a master's in project management, research-based advanced nursing, or something more specific than general MPH like biostats or epidemiology. I wouldn't pursue PH as an early career and it seems more suited as a later career move / secondary to practical exp in health. I'm speaking from an Australian context tho so YMMV as PH is a vague field here.

    • @gregmartin
      @gregmartin  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Great question Sarah - my feeling is that what you want to take away from your MPH is a good understand of epidemiology. If you have that you'll be able to apply it to any area of public health. When looking at programmes, I'd look for one with a strong epi focus unless you have a particular area of interest that is addressed by a particular programme.

      Great thought. The public health field is vast and constantly evolving, with opportunities in research, policy, global health, epidemiology, environmental health, and more. Many professionals choose to build on their MPH with work experience, further education, or both, to enhance their impact and reach their career goals. Ultimately, the "end goal" varies for each person, depending on their interests, career aspirations, and the difference they wish to make in the world.
