Masters in Public Health! The WHY's and WHAT's get answered! The best decision was getting my MPH!

[@russellwest9767]

I actually doubled major in Public Health and Healthcare Management. I currently work as a on duty hospital administrator and I graduated with my MHA in 2019. If you have a BS in Public health, here are the options you have just coming out of school:Skills that you will definitely need: Mastery of Excel Proficient in Lean six sigma Know how to interpret DATA AND MINE, SQL Areas of concentration :1. Research2. Environmental Health3. Health Administration 4. Environmental I can only speak from the administrative side. You need to gain as much internship opportunities and employment while in school. If you can, find a part time unit coordinator job, admission coordinator, health rep. Find what part of health administration interest you. For me it was operations and business, so while in school for my BS I worked as a full-time biller for the business office of skilled nursing services. Then once, graduated I was promoted to administrative admission coordinator for skilled nursing services. Monitored all healthcare data for nursing services; readmission rates, insurances and treating specialty codes. After that I enrolled in a MHA Program (online) that following fall, then I was promoted again to the Lead of Patient services. 2 months before graduating with my MHA I was offered a position at the healthcare facility working as a Hospital Administrator on Duty. I did this all in 3 years and managed to increase my salary 10k a year from when I graduated with my BS in Public Health. Experience...Experience again experience is key!

Hello Russell West, Thank you for the helpful tips ,indeed an eye opener . Just concluded my Bsc in Public health and still trying to find a balance. Could you be more explicit on more skills to acquire? I really believe skills and experience is keen to being a veteran in this discipline. I anticipate your response. Thanks .
