The Public Health club has a lot of potential beyond what it has already produced. My vision for the club is that we embrace all majors, and make public health applicable to various interests and studies. Public Health is massive field that covers every aspect of our daily lives, and I want others to understand that. In achieving this, I hope to bring about education on various careers that utilize public health that many wouldn’t think do. I hope to encourage that all students no matter what their future goals are to join and learn about public health. One idea is to include Career of the Month which can be broadcasted on our social media, and then have a professional visit the club. This I feel will help prepare the future UCSD graduates
I joined because I wanted to understand the community that I would be taking part in for the entirety of my undergraduate degree. The community itself was within Central Valley, California, which was also known to be largely medically underserved and economically disadvantaged. I was able to witness this firsthand, as a college student focused on pursuing medicine, the impact of healthcare disparities, and social determinants of health. These experiences have instilled in me a commitment to serving and empowering marginalized communities. By actively engaging with other campus-based organizations and promoting health education initiatives, I aspire to contribute to RFU’s community outreach efforts and foster positive change in the communities
Prior to entering a public health program, my initial goal was to study psychology in order to understand human
Being a student at Frostburg State University has allowed me to participate in a number of student organizations as well as leader positions and experiences. As a current mentor in the Read to Succeed program, which is geared towards helping young local students understand and develop fundamental reading and math skills, I have learned the depth and importance associated with maintaining an active role in the community. Such an experience has also helped me to enhance my own leadership skills as the current president of the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC). This student organization partners with the university’s health center, Brady Health Center, in providing and promoting health to students and members of the community. As president, I not only work side by side with the diligent members of the organization in advocating healthy lifestyle choices to students, but
My first hand experience has made me become a person that always holds out a hand to someone in need. A degree in health can fulfill my own personal satisfaction by making a difference and improving
I am interested in volunteering at Baylor Scott & White Hospital because I want to learn more about how a hospital works. I have always wondered how exactly a hospital is run and how nurses and doctors are able to give their best to each and every patient at the hospital. I want to learn how everything is processed and kept organized. I’m also interested in working a professional atmosphere just to see how it is like. I’ve always gone to hospitals to visit the sick and injured and have recently become curious about how it is like ‘behind the scenes’.

Through this program I hope to learn the fundamentals of community based research, how to advocate for health policy, a most importantly how to educate communities on health. I believe that is the most rewarding thing I can get out of this program. Having the ability, the power, to change someone’s life, by just giving him or her basic health care knowledge is so empowering. Knowing that I changed that life, that because of me hopefully their health will better instead of worsen. Through this program I hope to learn from the community, to learn their experiences, which will allow me to be even more conscious of the disparities they are forced to face, hence causing me to ponder “how can this issue be fixed?”, “what policy can be implemented”?.
I have chosen public health as my major because it is a dynamic field. I have a passion for making a difference in people’s lives and helping others achieve their goals. It is with great passion that I am dedicated and willing to contribute my service or skills to help someone in need. My philosophy of health education is very simple, to prevent, improve and educate the lives of individuals, families, communities, populations, and societies. Besides, there is no safer way to touch people’s lives than through public health.

I am an accelerated student at Mailman School of Public Health and the reason I would like to attend this lecture series is to enhance my understanding of the problems that are facing many developing countries. Since I will only be at Columbia for 1 year I would like to maximize my education and broaden my horizons by attending these lectures and hopefully I can share my own experience and struggles as well. Given my background as a recent medical school graduate and having lived both in Iran and Mexico I can bring my own experience of health system problems related to both countries and share some of these struggles with the group. My personal objective has always been working and serving the underserved population especially the Latino population
After I graduate from with an MPH I plan to be certified as a public health professional and I aspire to work for organizations such as Center of Disease Control, World Health Organization, and United States Agency for International Development. I believe that George Washington University/Milken Institute School of Public Health will enable me to reach my goals in life and create a lasting impact in society. GW’s program is one of the leading public health universities in the United States and it would be an honor and an admirable trait to be able to attend and successfully graduate from a school of such prestige. In addition, the online format for the MPH program is conducive and beneficial to my learning experience due to its flexibility and attainability; it allows me to receive quality education while continuing with the rigors of life.
I strongly believe I am an excellent candidate for your program because I am focused, hard-working and passionate about offering help to communities. I also have good insight into the economic and infrastructural processes required to accomplish sustainable change in preventive medicine and generally in the healthcare sector of my country. Born and raised in rural southern Nigeria, I have traveled through various regions and even more frequently in the last three years, and am aware of the core health and economic challenges facing my country. A post-graduate training in public health will enable me to demonstrate wide competency in the field of public health, allow me to be effective as a credible voice for positive change to existing health programs and also provide a fine theoretical background to maximize the practical basis upon which I have practiced as a full time healthcare professional for the past two years and volunteered at various medical missions since my undergraduate years. This program will also allow me to relate to professionals who share my goals at both colleague and Faculty
Health Club memberships are not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, some club memberships can be fun. They have perks that you usually will not find at home such as tennis courts, Olympic size swimming pools and lots of commercial quality home gym equipment. Oh and one more thing, that 's right girls, guys like to check you out at the club. But seriously, remember the reasons you joined the club.
After 9 weeks of learning Medical Terminology and Principles, we began Health Science this past week. Our first topic was infectious diseases, we learned how they can benefit you and also cause harm to the body. Some Infectious Diseases are very serious and hard to treat. Working in a field where you're exposed to hundreds of pathogens a day, you should be able to know how to protect yourself and patients from getting them. The Chain of Infection describes how the pathogen enters and leaves the body, knowing how to break it is important so you won't put other people in danger.
I have always wanted to pursue a career related to the medical field, and it wasn't until my freshman year of college that I encountered the area of public health. I was immediately drawn to the specific area of epidemiology and infectious diseases. I am now a junior at the University of Texas majoring in Public Health with a concentration in microbiology and infectious diseases. I find epidemiology so enthralling, as it is implements ways in which we can scientifically and statistically describe diseases and the mortality/morbidity as well as predict how and why they spread. More so, I think the infectious disease aspect is interesting as well, because while the United States has shifted from burden of infectious disease to that of chronic
