- I get a lot of questions about what you can do with a public health degree and just what public health is in general. So for this video, I gathered some statistics on where new MPH grads are working and what some of the common roles are for new public health grads. I talk about popular industries for MPH grads, what departments have which jobs, and I even interviewed some real-life public health practitioners from across the country! Hope you enjoy and be sure to message me on Instagram to tell me what public health is to you (:
One of my New Years resolutions is to post more consistently to answer everyone's questions about:
✩ Columbia/Mailman
✩ public health
✩ premed life
✩ New York City
✩ grad student lifestyle
So please let me know in the comments down below what you want to know/see! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! Don’t forget to subscribe and click the bell to watch more of my life as an MPH student at Columbia in NYC.

The best intro to public health I’ve seen on RUclips. Actually liked the video half way into it. I’m considering a career switch into Public Health from an entirely different field but have been struggling with that thought until now.
All I can say is God bless you. I am so subscribing!💃🏽
I’m so glad you liked it!
You have been a wonderful source of information. Thank you for putting together such a comprehensive approach to the MPH programs and outcomes.
I’m so glad it’s helpful!
This was so helpful! I've always though that MPH graduates go into government but I'm happy to know that a good amount enter into management/consulting. Thanks for this!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Im an occupational therapist with my ms in OT and i am currently applying for MPH programs. I fell in love with prevention and chronic disease management aspects of my outpatient care and want to do something more to help my populations.
I love your story and how it highlights all the different reasons people might pursue public health!
This is super enlightening! Thank you and we’ll done
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
I’m so happy I found this I always knew I wanted an mph but I never knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. This helps.
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Thank you so much for watching
Moments In Med hey... wat are the career option after MPH?
There a lot of different career options with an MPH, the broad examples are listed in this video! 😊
Awesome video-thank you trying to find my way either MPH or MSW my undergrad is sociology/criminal justice
Thank you so much for this. It was really helpful :)
Yay! So glad it was helpful!
So glad I came across this!
So glad it was helpful!
This is so informative and very helpful indeed. Thank you so much for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
@@MomentsInMed can you go into public health management roles ? What is the salary like ?
You snapped with the convention testimonials!
Thank you! I was so fortunate to have all these amazing professionals share their stories
This was very very helpful. Good job
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
How do I like this video a million times please?🤔
Awwww you’re so sweet!
aw omg bb uwu
I'm so happy I found this video I'm bachelor degree of PH I really enjoyed it thank u

Thank you for this video! I am currently trying to figure out if I wanted to do Masters in Social Work or MPH. After watching this video, I feel like an MPH is more of my area. Can I ask how you're doing especially during the COVID-19 pandemic? Trying to make sure that jobs will still be available for me during this time.
Glad the video was able to help! I actually know a couple of people who did the dual degree program for MSW/MPH. As for jobs, this pandemic has made "public health" a well known field in the U.S. right now which should mean an increase in funding and jobs for at least a few years! So I wouldn't worry too much about the pandemic negatively affecting the public health job market for MPH grads (:
Hey 👋 I'm completing my BSc in social work , what did you decide between MPH and MSW
Hi Taylor, subbed cause I’m applying to MPH programs after graduating with a BS in biomedical sciences and then doing a 1 year postbacc to retake some courses that didn’t go so well. Now i have a better GPA. Any advice for students hoping to go into public health with a low GPA? I have above a 3.0 but i don’t have a stellar 3.7+. Thank you for being super informative! Your videos have helped me more than my expensive undergrad university has with this 😭
Thank you so much for the kind words, Michelle! Please, please, please don’t stress too much about GPA, especially when it comes to MPH programs. I didn’t have an amazing undergrad GPA either and I know people who have gotten into Columbia MPH with less than a 3.0 so it is wayyyy more than possible! Just make sure your application focuses on why you love public health and who you are as a person, that’s what they care about 😊
Hii, hello, I know it's been a while since you posted this comment, but you might be the person qualified to answer my question. I'm an MBBS graduate, technically I'm a doctor but I didn't think it is in my future, anyway I'm thinking of going into either public health or biomedical which do you think in your opinion is a better career?? I'm interested in both but I have been discourage from biomedical, I'm only pursuing biomedical because I like bench type research but I hear its career prospects aren't great is that true, please I could use some help with this.
Hi fantastic video very informative ! I’m thinking of studying for a MSc Public Health here in the UK, I wanted to ask would you say the mathematical/statistical element of the course is demanding? I haven’t studied this for many years!
It really depends on the program! We had one statistics class in our first semester of "CORE" classes that everyone took but after that, you only had to take one or two more stats classes that depended on your department/"major."
Hey are you planning to go to mph!??
Thank you for the review. Such a great review. I am currently in nursing but really like the sounds of public health regarding educating and prevention. To work in the communicable disease investigation or just in communicable disease what area of focus in MPH is much suitable? Any school recommendations? I would like to start school but first like to learn about it from people who actually work in the field.
Hey! Communicable diseases would likely fall into an epidemiology specialization. And SOPHAS is a great resource to learn more about different schools and which might be the best fit for you!
Hi thank you for the video! I have a bachelors in health science and I’m deciding between PH or Healthcare administration. Im leaning toward PH because of my history of Pulmonary disease and how diseases can effect your health. I was in a nursing program but realized that it wasn’t for me or dental because overall oral health says a lot about your own health…but really don’t want to deal with mouths… between PH and HA, which would you recommend?
Great video. Would you know what are the prospects for someone with both an MD and MPH?
“Prospects” as in…? If you mean earring potential, an MPH doesn’t increase the amount you would earn as a physician by much but can qualify you for more academic or management positions which do earn more ☺️
Hi I just came across you video and I love how you’ve covered all the aspects regarding the degree. I’m currently a physical therapy student and I wanted to know whether MPH is a good degree for physical therapy grads.
Definitely! If it’s something you’re passionate about ☺️
ah
hi! im an environmental studies major and i just recently graduated from undergrad (last year). i also recently finished a summer internship about public health and i now have a newfound interest in public health! i have quite a few interests in public health but im not quite sure which one to go with/focus more on. you mentioned in the beginning of this video that you did some research with mental health and behavioral health. do you mind elaborating more on the work you did? a typical day in the life of doing that kind of research specifically! thanks! :)
?* ooops my apologies! ignore the exclamation mark above (specifically?)
My work in behavioral health research was a lot of time on the computer or in meetings. You are constantly writing papers, reading papers, developing surveys, analyzing results through statistical software, and brainstorming with your team. Can be super interesting if it’s something you love! But can also feel tedious when it’s not something you’re passionate about. Occasionally you might do more “interpersonal” tasks like running focus groups or qualitative interviews but that’s probably less frequent and is then followed by a lot of transcribing! Haha
So helpful thank you
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this! I am really interested in going into public health and this was so informative! What did you major in in undergrad to prepare for this?
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I have two undergrad degrees. One in biomedical sciences. One in public health/health sciences with a psych minor.
Hi.I'm a MBBS student. I want to study MPH abroad. Under MBBS, we have a subject called Community Medicine. Where we have studied minimally about public health. But, I'm an introvert.
In MPH, is it necessary to be extrovert? How the study conducted? Is it theory based Or you have to be like talk to people all the time?
All schools have different program structures but I think that in most grad programs there is some discussion-based learning. That being said, my experience at Columbia has been that professors won't make you talk in class if you don't want to. Also, there are definitely some online programs though where the discussion would all be virtual/typed. Hope that's helpful!
Hi there, Your video is very helpful! I am too planning to apply for MPH in coming year so I would like to take some suggestion from you in regard to writing letter of intent, what all things need to be kept in mind, how I need to proceed and streamline my thoughts on the same. Please guide me I am very much interested to know about it.
Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss this week's video which is all about personal statements!
Thank you Taylor, this video really was super helpful! I am currently doing my BSc in bioinformatics, do you think I have a chance when applying for a MPH program? Public health kinda became my passion and now I found a course abroad that offers the chance of specializing in epidemiology while doing a MSc in PH. Can I even apply with a degree in bioinformatics? Sending love from Germany x
Definitely! MPH students come from a multitude of different backgrounds! In my program, we even had a student who was previously an aerospace engineer so anything is possible as long as you show a passion for public health 😊
I am the same. I'm currently in my BSc in bioinformatics in Germany and discovered my love for public health. My goal is to do my masters abroad in Canada at the moment.
This is great! Thank you. Is there MSc Public Health in the States (or only MPH)?
The US does have a few MSc PH programs (Harvard and Hopkins are of note) but it’s mostly MPH in my experience. The MPH is more practice based (and more recognized in the US) while the the MScPH is more theory based. Hope that’s helpful! 😊
Hey u talked about masters in health administration in your video so can you be a lil more specific about mha n i wanted to know if we can have combination of mph and mha like together.
Great question! So you would not want to do both an MPH and MHA because they can be quite similar (and in my opinion that would probably be a waste of time/money). I explain the difference between an MHA and an MPH in Health Policy & Management (HPM) this way:
- an MHA is for people who want to do business and see healthcare as a way to do that
- an MPH in HPM is for people who want to do healthcare/public health and see business as a way to do that
I hope this makes sense and is helpful!
Hello! I'm interested in studying public health but because of the pandemic, I'm not sure about making any commitments with a University as of now. In the meantime, I am considering taking some MPH courses in Coursera to help me see if public health's the right path for me. Are there any public health online learning platforms that you recommend? Do you know if Coursera's public health courses are any good?
Thanks!
Unfortunately I don’t know very much about Coursera’s public health courses but I really believe that while it might be different, it is still worth it to pursue the degree from a university
Nice video! What bachelor’s degree is necessary in in order to prepare for a masters degree in public health. (P.S my college does not have a B.A in public health)
You can have pretty much any undergrad degree! There is no required major for an MPH. Just double check that you have completed any course-specific prerequisites.
Hi~pretty lady . Does masters in public health need experience in clinical medicine as well ? I’m newly graduate doctor ( mbbs ) . Is it fine if I apply directly in masters program ? I’m confused if they ask for any clinical experience and does masters in public health includes maths ?
In my experience, no clinical experience is required! (:
And the only math is statistics.
Me too mbbs
What would be the job title for someone who wants to create health programs for like a community, hospital, schools, etc,? I’m hoping to get my MPH but a very creative person so looking for more creative jobs. 💕
There are a lot of different titles this might fall under but program manager or something similar would likely get you into a similar role to what you described ☺️
Hello! Im finishing up my bachelors degree but I wanna start looking into graduate school and do MPH and found an online program that I feel would be a perfect fit for me since I would want to work full time and take courses in tue evening but do you think an online degree in MPH would affect me getting a good job?
Probably not in this era! Most things are online now, regardless
what is the most common (or best) undergraduate major if I plan to major in Health Policy (analysis) as my master concentration? Thank you!
Honestly, whatever you are most interested in! In my program, there was a large variety of undergrad majors and backgrounds. You should choose what you will like because you will get better grades if you enjoy what you’re studying ☺️
Hello, I am interested in the MPH program. But I've a Bachelors in Business Administration. So you think I'll be good fit? Would I have to take numerous prerequisites to get into ?
You would have to look at the individual schools' requirements for admission, but I don't think you would need to take any prereqs. Most programs do not have specific requirements like that and people from all different backgrounds/majors get accepted (:
Helpful info"..
Public health and Health informatics on same platform..? Since both includes in healthcare..
Is there any flexibility to work in one another..?
Hai, did you take bachelor of science in public health or bachelor of arts in public health? and what’s the major differences and is it hard to find university that applied BA of public health (or any rrecommendations)? Thank you so so much! goodluck w your studies!
Hi Steven! My undergrad degrees were actually in Biomedical Sciences and Health Sciences so I don't have a Bachelors in public health and can't really speak to the differences. Sorry I couldn't be of more help for this question but let me know if you have any other questions (:
Bachelor of arts is more on theory side while bachelors of science is more on technical side.
Very helpful video, thank you
But what are the requirements for international graduates who like to continue with MPH?
Unfortunately I don't know very much about the international student process since I was a domestic applicant.
rahaf كيفك
Hi, may I know what is the difference between a Master of Science in Public Health and a Master in Public Health?
An MSPH is more academic while the MPH is more practice-based. Also in my experience, the MSPH is a newer degree and is sometimes less recognizable.
I am a chemistry graduate, should I go for MPH?
Hi taylor.. i am from Nepal.. and i have completed my BPH.. and i am not sure what should i do in my masters.. after completing my BPH i realized I am not really into public health and wanted to know what are the other more technical faculties that i can apply at states.. or do you think MPH is different form BPH that i might like it afterwards.. i really need you opinion on this one.. thanks
Unfortunately I don’t know very much about BPH degree programs from outside the US so it’s hard for me to speak on this
For the people who are doing research, who typically hires researchers? Private or public institutions?
I don’t know the statistical breakdown for sure. Mailman publishes these statistics publicly so you could try to look it up but I’m unsure if they have those specifics. I would imagine it’s usually academic settings though.
Can I work at an international organization(WHO) if I complete mph regardless of my bachelor's degree?
For sure! Once you have your MPH, your undergrad degree serves to give you a little more insight into other areas (i.e., you can spin it to be a strength for job apps) but I don't think it would exclude you from working where you want to!
Is it a good course to pursue after bachelor's of pharmacy?
As I am pretty much interested in this course, but don't know if it would be beneficial for future aspects
I don’t know very much about pharm + mph but if you are passionate about it, you should go for it because it definitely doesn’t hurt career aspirations!
Is there part time work available with an mph?
Can I ask you an urgent question? Which university is better in terms of employment after graduation, NYU epi or WASHU epi/bio?
And which would you go for ?
All these programs will set you up for a great career. Choose the one that fits best for YOU from a culture and curriculum perspective!
Hello
I have a bachelors in Physiotherapy from india and I’m planning for a mph in Canada.
Do you think it’s good considering my background? And how rough is the course?
Thanks in advance
MPH programs accept students with all types of backgrounds!
Hi excellent video. Quite a good information on MPH. How could we combine different fields of interest. I’m basically from environmental science background but I ve interest in either addiction and mental health or nutrition n dietetics. Does occupational health and hygiene dept under MPH has good opportunities? Please do reply ... thank you 😊
It depends on the school but most schools will let you take electives in different departments or even get certificates from departments other than your “home” department.
@@MomentsInMed thank you 😊
Hey! I'm currently doing my bachelor's in public health and I wanna know other master filed except MPH were I can earn a lot
There are master's degrees in health administration and public policy that might be interesting to you!
When you get your Masters in PH and want to work as a health educator in a community college does that require an additional certification? If so is that per course that you desire teaching ? Is this an option ?
Unfortunately I don't know very much about that path but I'm sure it is possible and would depend on the requirements of the employer (i.e., the community college).
Moments In Med but teaching is an option ?
I can't say for sure because I haven't done any research on it myself but an MPH is a masters level degree just like any other so I would assume that you could teach at community college with an MPH. I definitely know someone who was teaching at a college with her MPH (but she was simultaneously pursuing a DrPH). Unfortunately I can only give this anecdotal advice since I am not pursuing a career in teaching but I see no reason why you couldn't get a job teaching with an MPH (:
It’s not exactly necessary, but getting your CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) credentials would probably be helpful. Or at least make you stand out more :). Many CEPH accredited schools push for this especially if you go the Health Promotion route in a MPH degree!
Do a commerce undergraduate student is able to study masters in public health?
You can get a MPH with almost any undergrad major as long as you can show in your application why you want to pursue public health. You just have to show a passion for whatever you’re applying for! People change careers and directions all the time.
Do you have to have a clinical certification or license to thrive with a MPH degree?
Not at all! You can get a job with your MPH and no clinical experience/training 😊
Could you help me by telling me what concentration of public health is better if I want to work or aply the mph in lab work, genetics, inmunology etc?
While your time might be better spent getting a master’s degree in genetics or immunology instead of public health, if you are really determined to study public health, you can pursue any concentration. Epidemiology or biostatistics might be more applicable depending on your interests.
:D
Hey Taylor,
Ihave completed my Bsc in Food nutrition and microbiology.and now Iam interested to do my public health major in US . Am I eligible for this? If so, after graduation what was the scope?
Hope you'll help me with this.
You can pursue an MPH with any background as long as you can show a passion for public health in your application!
I'm considering doing the mph
Always glad to share info for potential applicants!
Hi, what does the term Public Health Practitioner mean? Does it refer to licensed doctors with a MPH?
Thanks xx
A public health practitioner is simply someone “practicing” or doing the work of public health (not necessarily a physician but could be)
Hi! I want to work in management in a hospital for my career but idk if I should consider an MHA or MPH I know both include healthcare management tho :/
MHA = business degree using health
MPH = health degree using business
It depends on where your priorities are, business or public health!
hmm
Hi, for my undergrad degree i am studying public health science in Nigeria and I plan on furthering my education in USA, can I study public health for my masters
Yes! For sure!
I'm still in high school (and by the way I'm Australian so some things are a little different) but I was wondering what bachelor degree you completed? I'm personally looking into a bachelor of health science.
Hey, I am from Australia as well (Melbourne) If you are interested you can actually go straight into a Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion course, most universities offer that in Victoria and I have seen similar courses in South Australia as well, not entirely sure about other states. I also recommend you to look into the possibilities of doing a double-degree combined with either business or even nursing - it opens up a wide range of possibilities in the future! Good Luck:)
Hi Jordan! I got actually got two undergrad degrees: a Bachelor of Health Science and a Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences. It sounds like Sharon left some great (more specific) advice on undergrad majors in Australia, so I’ll refer you to her comment (:
Sharon Ruth Hii sahron I am from India and I hv done my GNM in 2018 and now I am working in hospital as a nurse plz guide me if want to come in Australia can I apply for Bachelor in public health is it better me for future or not
@@khairakaur3509 Hey, I am not entirely sure about the criteria for you as you will be coming as an international student; you might need to talk to your embassy or contact a relevant university for further information. Since you have completed GNM, it might be worth looking into doing a masters or at least try to get some credit points for your previous studies when applying to study in Australia. There are currently many universities that offer a bachelor's or honors program in Public Health as well as many alternative pathways. In terms of your future and career opportunities, it depends on your Visa Criteria and where you might wanna work in the future as it is harder to get a job in a government organization/ agency if you are not an Australian Citizen which can drastically reduce your chance or put pressure to get a job; but always keep in mind that current laws can change literally anytime and there is always an alternative pathway if you really want to pursue it. From my experience, I thoroughly enjoy studying Public Health and Health Promotion and I recommend it to anyone to pursue it if you have the passion:) Good Luck!
Sharon Ruth Thnks a lot for rply ☺️I had already applied my offer letter for bachelor in public health for Australia in Melbourne city but i am discussing with u because I think u are a citizen u knw more about courses because some people's says me to take bachelor in nursing but i can't took this course because of my low bands score and now my agent refer me to take a bachelor in public health
Hii, i am from india, and i want to know as a nursing background which is better for me MPH or MHA?
Either could make sense depending on what you want to do! An MPH is for people who want to work in public health (and could use management and business as a way to do that). An MHA is for people who want to be in business/management roles and see healthcare as a way to do that.
Is MPH (2 year) and MPH: comparative effeciveness research (1 year) same or different ? What should i choose ? Please guide me
At Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, the Master’s degree in Public Health (MPH) is 2 years long. You can apply to do an accelerated 1-year program if you have significant career experience or another high level degree but otherwise, the MPH is 2 years. The 2 year program includes a certificate which is similar to a “minor” in college. My certificate was in Comparative Effectiveness & Outcomes Research but it was a part of my MPH, it was not a desperate degree nor could I have done the certificate without doing the MPH. I hope this helps!
@@MomentsInMed université de paris offers a 1 year MPH : comparative effectiveness research course should i do it ? After my bachelors in medicine ?
Hii...am a bsc food technology graduate.
Can I choose mph for higher studies?
Pls reply
You can pursue a master’s in public health with any undergraduate degree as long as you can display a passion and interest in public health in your application!
Iam graduated in botany, can i take Msc in public health... Is this course is only beneficial for medical professionals or it provides equal opportunity to everyone who had taken MPH
You do not need any specific undergraduate degree to pursue an MPH!
Hi Taylor, thanks for the information.
Actually I have been studying online MPH for 9 months at USW. My question is (is online certificate differs from on campus?) and what are the differences between the two (if there is) ? Specifically, in terms of hiring jobs.
I think the answer to this question is much different now in 2020. Since the pandemic has forced most programs online, I can't imagine that employers would be able to look down on online programs but there is no way of knowing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but my short answer is: online is probably fine!

can you go into law with an undergrad degree in public health?
Hi Sam! Once upon a time I was thinking about going to law school and I 100% agree with what Mikhael said. You can pretty much go to law school with any degree but something like public health would be a great choice if that's what you are interested in! I always tell people to choose what they are most passionate about because you will likely perform better if you like what you are doing (:
Hello!!
I'm planning for MPH in newjersey.Would you please help me with choosing an university which is best for MPH !!!😞
Choose the program with the best fit for your personality and academic goals! Go with somewhere where you like the people and the course list excites you!
Hello, I’m a dentist and I would like to pursue my MPH from US, being an international student will I find it difficult fr getting new job opportunities in the sector. Btw the video was supercool, informative. :)
I'm glad you found the video helpful! Since I am not an international student, I don't know for sure. I do know that the friends I had at Mailman who were international students are staying in NYC after graduating so I believe they found jobs here in the US. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful for this question!
Hi! I am planning to get my master degree but still confused about which major i should take.. So i want to ask you something about Public Health. Is it possible for someone that graduated from Communication major (bachelor) to apply in Public Health?
Definitely! You can have any undergrad major and apply to an MPH program as long as you have a genuine passion!
@@MomentsInMedi see.. thank you ^^
What is your annual cost and fees in brown school of public health
I did not end up going to Brown but I have a video about the costs of my program at Columbia: ruclips.net/video/OJospBmCb3s/видео.html
I am a public health degree. working at the hospital. hope i can continue studying for Mph...
Good luck! And hope these videos can be helpful
I’m really interested in mph but i saw some RUclipsrs say it’s a useless degree because you won’t be able to find a good paying job.
In your resent video you talk about mcat study why you studying MCAT?? You already have a degree and also have a job
I talk about that here: ruclips.net/video/-bJNrhD_72Q/видео.html
I m currently doing Master of Pharmacy. If I do MPH after my graduation..will it help me to seek my career in hospitals
It really depends on the hospital, your geographic area, and a bunch of other factors but I would not do an entire degree just because you think it’ll help you find a job, you should also be interested in the topic!
Cost of studying mph in your college? And is it practical to prepare and give usmle steps while pursuing mph?
Check out this video about the cost of Columbia’s MPH: ruclips.net/video/OJospBmCb3s/видео.html
Due to the time commitment of a master’s degree, it would be very difficult to study for USMLE Step 1 at the same time. US medical schools give students time off to dedicate all of their time to Step 1 studying. An MPH program would not give you the same level of dedicated study time.
So a student with nothing to flaunt on his CV apart from good step scores, what path would you suggest in order to match a residency program? Like how can I improve my cv?? I have no contacts in usa plus the whole education system of usa seems so alien to me
salamalik
Is salary different for med and nursing ?
Typically. You can Google salary info for your area of interest for more information
Do you have to get a medical Degree to find good work?
Not at all! Most public health professionals work in the field without having medical degrees. You can see from the stats in this video that there are only a small percentage of students who continue on the further education.
How hard was ur statistics class? I’m barely survived my community college under grad statistics class.
It is hard to say "how hard it was" because everyone is different but I can say that there are many people in my public health program that were not "stats nerds" who passed the class just fine. When a certain subject is not your strong suit, you have to find and use as many resources as possible to help you do your best!
@@MomentsInMed thank you so much for the reply !!:)
Any chances into MPH with legal/humanity background?
You can get into an MPH program with any background as long as you have a passion for public health!
Hi! Are all the job kind of office/ resarch oriented? Or can you have more of a clinical job? hands on patients or populations?
You can't touch patients and give clinical care unless you have another degree allowing you to do that (e.g., MD, DO, BSN/RN, Social Work, etc.) But you can work in clinical settings, you just won't be the one treating patients unless you have a clinical degree.
who touches patients
I'm a rising senior majoring in Public Health. I'm struggling to find an entry level job. Any ideas? I can't find my niche /sector.
While some businesses are on hiring freezes right now because of COVID, they are expected to pick up hiring again with more funding and more positions soon! I also don't know too much about the job market for Bachelor-level public health grads, but if you're finding that most positions want further education, you may consider looking into an MPH program in order to more easily find a job in your niche. I hope that's helpful!

I did MPH from India can I get job there and how
Hi... What is course duration of MPH program..
Usually 2 years but some schools have accelerated programs that are a little less than 1 year!
Maam...i have done Bachelor's in Electronic engineering and after 6 years of graduation. I doesnt feel satisfied...i am very much interested in public health and its job responsibilities kicks me and i like to do masters in public health and want to starts working but ppl r says...i cannot go in this field and master in public health is not possible for Engineering Graduate. Is it so ? Plz help...plzzzz
You can apply to an MPH with any undergrad degree as long as you can show a passion for public health!
man switched career programs but I understand
hi I am a medical graduate with a long career break for 15 years. I am planning to get back to a job where I can use my medical knowledge. I am considering public health. will there be any problem when I seek jobs after the completion of masters due to the career gap. thank you
As long as you have a way to explain the gap, it should be fine. Also once you’re in your MPH program, they will likely have a career services office that can advise you further!
@@MomentsInMed thank you very much
wow
which university did u go .....nice video
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I did my MPH at Columbia.
More information mph. after job in world health organization ( interested)
Is it possible to study MPH while doing residency program?
If you find a residency program that specifically has a gap year built in for competition of an MPH
اه
I still feel confused on what people with MPH actually do
Hi Hannah! So it may seem confusing because you can basically do anything health-related with an MPH the same way that you can do pretty much anything business-related with an MBA, and so on. Let me know if you have any specific questions that I may be able to answer to help make it more clear (:
@@MomentsInMed what jobs exactly do people do with an mph

I graduated with my bachelors healthcare administration degree. I’m having a hard time finding a job. I just don’t have enough management experience. I thought about getting my masters in MPH? Do you know if it’s hard to get a job in this field?
The MPH would overlap a lot with your healthcare admin degree and could be a good fit if you’re passionate about public health. You should also look into Master of Healthcare Admin (MHA) programs if that’s more aligned with your interests. Don’t get too discouraged! Job hunting is difficult and stressful right now

You would have to check with the individual schools but there usually aren't too many requirements 😊
Hello good day. I just graduated with a bachelors in Human anatomy. Can I apply for a masters in public health. Do you think I'd be accepted?
I anticipate your response. Thank you.
MPH programs accept students with all types of backgrounds!
Hi what is public health
This video gives some great examples of careers you can do with a public health degree. Short answer, I would say, public health is anything that deals with the health or wellbeing of a population or community.
Hi 🙋🏾♀️ I’m currently an MBBS student in my final year and I am considering getting an MPH. I am not planning to get my license after graduating as I want a different path. Is there a benefit to having my doctors license in addition to an MPH ?
As far as I know, the main advantage would be if you wanted to practice. So if you don’t want to practice, it might not be worth it but try to reach out to people in public health programs with MBBS degrees and ask what they think!
Hey can you please say what you studied in you're undergrad?
Biomedical Sciences, Health Sciences/Public Health, and Psychology 😊
@@MomentsInMed I'm sorry if I am annoying you 🙈 but do you think its possible to get in for mph after b pharm
Not annoying at all 💕 and MPH programs take people from a huge variety of backgrounds! Your undergrad degree or previous jobs don’t really matter as long as you can show you’re passionate for the field
!💕
Can bsc botany students can do masters in public health??
I don’t see why not if you have a passion for public health!
