I became interested in public health because I always had a fascination with
infectious diseases and there pathogenicity so when I was looking for
mph programs I wanted a program that had an excellent research reputation faculty
whose interests aligned with mine and also a program that really had a strong
student centered focus the mph program really broadened my horizons to the
entire public health field I developed very strong research and analytical
skills that I can use in my future job to hopefully develop effective
evidence-based policy there's a very strong diversity of students here
everybody has such different backgrounds health related non health related and so
being here just really develops different perspectives that you're able
to use both in academic sense and in the real world also

masters of public health degree is very very relevant to the medical profession
having a dual medical and public health degree really opens your eyes as a
physician allows you to kind of see things at a different perspective and
also allows you to identify factors which may contribute to your patient's
health that may not otherwise be so obvious how the hospital is set up how
the healthcare system functions and how to direct community programs or form
coalitions are all very important aspects that I think is vital for really
any physician to understand regardless of their specialty Penn State
understands importance of public health with the new curriculum now there's more
focus on public health infrastructure and the basic principles of public
health and also you get a lot of opportunities to do research with many
of the professors here
[music]
here everybody knows your name they say hi they smile they ask how you're doing
in conversation the school has actually been really great to bring in a lot of
the professional sphere at the Department of Health to do sort of
seminars and talks to us as doctoral students a lot of the work that I do
here actually intertwines with what I learn in the classroom and a lot of
times what I'm hearing what they're saying
it actually matches how do I want to address public health issues how do I
want to once I get out of here affect change education can get in the way
sometimes we always want to you know do something for the test or get to this
point but it's really the people that invest in you that you find out later on
in life that those are the people that are going to help you get to the next level
