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 (:

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?

[@MomentsInMed]

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!

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

[@mustafakhan940]

Great video. Would you know what are the prospects for someone with both an MD and MPH?

Hi thank you for the video! I have a bachelors in health science and I’m deciding between PH or Healthcare administration.

[@shauntelowe2]

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!

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!

[@sharonruth7487]

@@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.

Check out this video about the cost of Columbia’s MPH: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXvSpKN4oqiVadU 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.

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.

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!

How hard was ur statistics class? I’m barely survived my community college under grad statistics class.

[@MomentsInMed]

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!

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?

[@MomentsInMed]

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

Can I work at an international organization(WHO) if I complete mph regardless of my bachelor's degree?

[@MomentsInMed]

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!

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.

[@MomentsInMed]

You can pursue an MPH with any background as long as you can show a passion for public health in your application!

[@samk5656]

can you go into law with an undergrad degree in public health?

[@MomentsInMed]

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 (:

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?

[@MomentsInMed]

Definitely! You can have any undergrad major and apply to an MPH program as long as you have a genuine passion!

Hi! Are all the job kind of office/ resarch oriented? Or can you have more of a clinical job? hands on patients or populations?

[@MomentsInMed]

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.

[@freepalestinanow]

who touches patients

[@dr.mazinsalah5439]

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.

[@MomentsInMed]

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!

Hi... What is course duration of MPH program..

[@MomentsInMed]

Usually 2 years but some schools have accelerated programs that are a little less than 1 year!

[@christatitus6805]

I m currently doing Master of Pharmacy. If I do MPH after my graduation..will it help me to seek my career in hospitals

[@MomentsInMed]

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!

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 ?

[@MomentsInMed]

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!
