Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Experience ft. Claudia

[@sarahmina1442]

Thank you, great interview. I read on the MPH website the average age is 36 (student demographic)! Do you think that freshly graduated med students are frequently accepted, are ppl with work experience rather preferred?

[@briankfung]

That's a great question. In my personal cohort, which was about 50-60% physicians, there were probably only a handful there were freshly graduated med students - probably less than 5? Most were either fresh out of residency or a few years out residency/fellowship and were mid-career.

Hi! If I am working a FT job in CA and cannot relocate, is there an option for me to do full online? Thanks for sharing.

[@briankfung]

Yup! Fully online became an option in the last few years: publichealth.jhu.edu/academics/mph

[@jkpfmt]

@briankfung thanks! Mind if I shoot a LinkedIn DM? We're already connected there.

[@briankfung]

@@jkpfmt sure!

Where would you be today if you did not work to complete your MPH?

[@briankfung]

I assume this question is for Claudia - so I'll inquire with her and post her response here.

[@hunterkiely8126]

@@briankfungthe question is for both of you.

[@briankfung]

Gotcha. For me personally, I'd likely be in the same position since I didn't change positions after graduating with my MPH (I'm an informatics pharmacist). However, the MPH has piqued my interest in other areas that I had not previously considered like public policy, population health, and epidemiology. I imagine that I'll likely switch into a more public-health focused position in the coming years due to the impact the MPH had on me.

Hi Claudia,

[@lisabekoe7709]

Does the MPH have a list of students they are admitting for the July intake?

[@briankfung]

Hi Lisa, I don't believe/recall any publicly available list for admitted MPH students. However, the students that were admitted will usually be provided a list of those students during orientation.

[@lisabekoe7709]

Please can i I get Miss Claudia's Email?

[@briankfung]

Hi Lisa! I don't want to post her contact information here since it'll be public. However, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to check out the 'connect with current students' page for Hopkins MPH: publichealth.jhu.edu/offices-and-services/office-of-admissions-services/connect-with-current-students. You can connect with current students and engage with them easily through that platform.
