What kind of experience should I get before applying for Masters in Public Health


What kind of experience should I get before applying for Masters in Public Health?
Well.. the program requires that I have some experience in public health.. does volunteering in a hospital or a nursing home considered experience in health?? Or do I have to do volunteer at programs where it deals with prevention such as HIV/AIDS?

Contact the program coordinator to find out their requirements. Since none of us know what program we can't answer your question.

If the program is asking for experience, it would be best to check with them about what they expect. If you have ideas, you can also check to see if those ideas meet their criteria, and you can ask for examples of what successful candidates have done in the past. Be specific about what you do - if you volunteer at a hospital, make sure it has relevance. Visiting with patients is great, but hardly MPH level. Discussing prescriptions and drug interactions would be much more relevant.
