Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Public Health

Greg Martin walks you through the successes and failings of various initiatives that he has started and tries to identify lessons learned for those that are interested in innovation and entrepreneurship in the global health / public health space. He also talks about funding and fundraising for public health programs.
Global health (and public health) is truly multidisciplinary and leans on epidemiology, health economics, health policy, statistics, ethics, demography.... the list goes on and on. This KZbin channel is here to provide you with some teaching and information on these topics. I've also posted some videos on how to find work in the global health space and how to raise money or get a grant for your projects.
Please feel free to leave comments and questions - I'll respond to all of them (we'll, I'll try to at least). Feel free to make suggestions as to future content for the channel.

*Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Global Health* lessons learned....

[@benjaminjones3043]

Health entrepreneurship! Exactly what the world needs more of! Thanks great video

[@KrisRonsin]

This is the exact kind of guidance that many of us self-starters need to maintain momentum while working toward a goal or on our project! Thanks Greg, this was a great video and much needed

[@gregmartin]

Glad I could help Kris Ronsin

[@mymakerscreations]

This is really a mind opener for all in public health to think beyond the normal practices

[@gregmartin]

+Michael Epokor Thanks for the comment

[@desmiahaldane1953]

I have undermined business and health going hand in hand but you continue to inspire me Dr. Greg! Perhaps many solutions and answers lie in us just trying and networking till we find able supporters or partners.

You are very kind Marise! Thanks for the comment.

[@mohamedjamaal5771]

Mr.Martin is such an inspiration!Watching from Kenya and just want to say thank you.Would love to meet you one day.

[@MARTINAEFEYINI]

Great video! "Don't be afraid to fail...Believe in your idea!" If you don't believe in your idea no one will. Keep the videos coming! I really appreciate your videos along with Dr. Racaniello Podcast/KZbin Channel because they give me the drive to keep pushing to achieve my career goals of become a vaccine researcher. I learn so much that will help me as an aspiring infectious disease vaccine researcher. You both do an amazing job!

[@chijiokenwosu9141]

Dr Martin this is so inspiring! I'm watching this in between working on my MSc Project by DL from LSHTM and I'm so glad I found your channel.

[@gregmartin]

Glad you liked it Chijioke! DL is never easy (well done!). I'm also an LSHTM alumni. :)

Your talk was a big success at the conference and the hangouts questions session was fantastic! Thank you so much for contributing with this encouraging video! This is giving momentum our innovative spirit! The Global Health Next Generation Network

[@gregmartin]

Thanks Lucía Fernández Montoya . I'm glad that the session went well! I had fun doing it. Well done on organising such a fantastic event. Good luck.. Greg

[@BHAWESHJHAbj]

[@gregmartin]

+Bhawesh Jha thanks for the feedback - good luck with the MPH!

[@asmamalik9796]

As a recent graduate in public health, I'd like to say you have really inspired me just as I lost hope in the job market. Thank you!

[@gregmartin]

+Asma Malik thanks for the feedback - good luck!!!! :)

[@sheilapande6066]

It would be nice if the audio of these videos were available on your podcast, in order to listen on the go. thank you

[@gregmartin]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll do that for sure!

[@wamunyimalifumbo2057]

I like your presentation, very informative, How i hope i can have more videos on all the public health courses.

[@gregmartin]

+Wamunyima Lifumbo Thanks for the comment

[@dramarisegomes]

Fantastic video! Thank you Professor

[@gregmartin]

Glad you liked it!! Please feel free to make any suggestions about future content.

[@EmmanuelBenyeogor]

Thanks Dr Greg for this video. I do have an idea and will like to discourse it with you. Its about making Dr and nurses available at rural, hard to reach areas in Nigeria as volunteers. Don't know how to go about this.

[@gregmartin]

Thanks for the comment Emmanuel Benyeogor Its a great idea and I wish you all the best for it. Starting a new project can be hard and I suggest that as a first step you try to identify stakeholders who would be interested in working with you (or collaborating with you) on this venture. Getting support and buy-in is extremely important. To do this, you'll need to have a very clearly defined vision and you can communicate easily. Once you have enough people interested in your project, you're half way there. I hope that this helps! Good luck

[@rickc.3552]

Can an MPH help an entrepreneur with a global health startup or would that specific degree be a waste of time?

[@kares21]

It looks like Google Hangouts was discontinued. I was trying to see if I could schedule a time to speak with you, but to no avail. I know you must be very busy, but if there's another way to set up some time to speak with you please let me know. Thank you for posting these videos!

[@gregmartin]

Hi there - thanks for the message. Can I suggest that you contact me through the twigh.org webpage (contact us page) and I'll respond directly to you.

[@Brucelee135974]

Insightful and engaging. I loved it!

[@gregmartin]

Thanks for the comment Bruce Lee - much appreciated!

[@mairazafar]

My dad is looking for a job in public health. he has a masters in maternal and child health and he is a doctor. He worked as a physician for many years in Pakistan. Now he plans to settle in United States. He is already here but we are not sure where to start from. It would be great if there is anything you can help out with. Thanks !!!!

[@gregmartin]

Thanks for the message. Given that your father is both a doctor and has a masters degree (with years of experience), I'm quite sure that he'll be able to add a lot of value to a large number of organisations. I"m in the thick of putting together a series of 4 videos on finding work in global health. The first three are already here on KZbin. The final one will be posted soon. Here are the ones that I have so far: 1) Identifying your area of interest kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXqve5Rrj9SihtU 2) Understanding your role kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXqve5Rrj9SihtU 3) Developing skills and competencies kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmfQmJuQoruDosU

[@rajeshsharma6500]

This is so inspiring

[@jl-vs8ki]

Mr Martin, Does it matter if I go to online school or school on campus for my MPH? Some people say online school is not good! can you suggest me some schools please most preferably without GRE! I am currently working as a Registered Nurse in the States! Thank you for all your wonderful videos!

[@gregmartin]

Hi there j shrestha - great question. Doing an MPH though an online program is fine (but it isn't easy). I did my MPH full time but my MBA through distance learning and found it quite tough. But it can be expensive to take a year off to study and so sometimes online or part time study is necessary (I understand). Re choosing a school - take a look at this webpage which may offer some guidance. www.careersinpublichealth.net/schools

[@jl-vs8ki]

Thank you so much! I will keep you updated!

[@vitalysamonov3399]

very nice video!

[@gregmartin]

Thanks :)
