What is public health?
Public health is an exciting field of work dedicated to protecting and improving the health and well-being of communities, particularly those seen as the most vulnerable. While a doctor treats people who are sick, public health practitioners try to prevent people from getting sick or hurt in the first place, and promote wellness by encouraging healthy behaviors.
Why are graduates in public health important?
Public health is everywhere around us. When it works, it’s invisible. Public health professionals contribute to an increasingly needed skilled workforce that will work to improve the well-being of individuals and communities.
