I'm a public health science 4th year student at a UC in Cali and I am leaning towards doing an MPH in Epidemiology. Thanks for this video!!!

[@natashagates6280]

I absolutely LOVE your videos. You’re the most direct and intelligent woman I’ve ever listened to on KZbin that’s actually excited about everything you explain. You’re such an inspiration. I changed my MA major from regularly affairs to clinical research 🔬 because I’m very interested in epidemiology-however-I got a B in statistics and am intimidated by bio stats & epidemiology courses. You said don’t be scared… I trust you!

This video is 3 years old but I'm in the process of picking an elective (first out of a scarce two choices) and feel like this decision will influence my ability, skill and productivity, not to mention future professional role. Short, sweet and informative. Thanks a bunch!

[@rbronsing]

If you are in Regulatory Affairs or perhaps in Pharmacovigilance, having some background in epidemiology and/or biostats also really helps. As an RA lead, I need to understand as much as possible about the things the health authorities are asking and our responses to those questions. Being able to talk the same language really helps. No need to be the expert, but I highly recommend taking a class or two just to get the basics.

I really loved this video. Mainly because I have been a bit torn in the direction I want to take with My MPH. Currently focusing on Health Promotion, but found epidemiology fascinating. I am currently finishing a certificate in IPAC, I know it is spring board from epidemiology but this video provided the reassurance I needed and interest in go the route of epidemiology. I am entering my 2yr MPH but my school would not allow me to change the minor and I may have to consider a grad certificate in Epidemiology to get all the skills I need for the field. I am realizing that most jobs wants the MPH focused on Epidemiology especially in an entry level position.

But he was at the forefront of his field and we students begged him to stay and teach because he was showing us all new stuff, very exciting. We were so sad when our "regular" teacher (dull) came back. So...think about it!

I’m trying to compare the ability to break into the field and opportunities of progression between the two. If you have any information on the Industrial Hygiene I’d greatly appreciate it.

How is the job market for epidemiology? Is it difficult to find employment right after completing Master’s? The growth rate of epidemiology is only around 5% according to BLS.

[@vvieites001]

5% is about average compared to all other occupations according to BLS, so the growth rate isn’t high compared to the average, but the good thing is that it’s growing and not declining. And like career savage said, it’s not something a lot of people want to do, so it makes it easier for those who do to find a job (assuming there is demand for it).
