Should I study Public Health in undergrad level?
I'm from bangladesh and i have been accepted at temple university where i want to study public health at the undergraduate level. Then later on i wanna do masters in public health. So i wanted to know whether it would be wise to study public health at undergraduate level because some people say that its better to do major in a different subject and then do masters in public health. Also by studying PH at undergrad do people get jobs? I'm really confused cuz i really wanna study this subject. Someone plz help me!!

In the US, it is hard to get a public health job without the masters degree. Undergrad public health is fine, but really, you should broaden your horizons and save the public health studies for graduate school. I studied molecular cell biology as an undergraduate. Then I earned my MPH in epidemiology and biostatistics. Perhaps you should consider some other biomedical field for udergrad? Microbiology is great if you want to do pulib health lab work (infectious diseases and so forth). Or maybe something in public policy so you can learn about legal and civic applications of public health.

Quiet person interested in the Public Health field
Quiet person interested in the Public Health field?
Are there any jobs in Public Health where I can work "behind the scenes?" I'm a very quiet person, I don't like doing presentations and talking in front of people. I want to get my Masters in Public Health, because I want to prevent disease and promote overall good heath in communities and society. Anything I can do in Public Health that doesn't require a lot of talking? Can I work "behind the scenes?"

I do advertising and setting up customer accounts for a wellness company. I schedule people to get information on a presentation call but I do not have to do the presentation myself. This co. would be perfect for you because this co. has been enhancing people's lives and deals in safer, healthier, products and the environment for over 23 years. If you want details, email me cwood719@cox.net

Being quiet isnt a disability if anything you should look for a job that involves talking. Then you will be able to talk more. go out and forget about fear. Low confidence can lead to being quiet so be sure of yourself and just get out there and talk!

I'm a PhD level epidemiologist, and I know a lot of MPH level epidemiologists and statisticians in health departments who don't spend a lot of time with the public, but of course they have to interact with colleagues. Health geographic Information systems (GIS) is an emerging area, and if you develop some skills in this area, you will be in demand. If you are more into laboratory work, there are jobs in environmental health and microbiology that might suit you.

I'm unfamiliar with a masters of dental public health, but I imagine it would be like the MPH, but more focused on dental policy. I'd get a MPH: its seems more generally applicable and more easily recognized.
2
No, they are exactly the same. Just two different names. Don't pay any attention to that.

The only programme of that sort is at the University of Toronto. http://www.phs.utoronto.ca/PhD.asp

They only give preference to aboriginal Canadians. All other people are on an equal footing. But do apply anyway.

Don't waste your money on a masters in public health. You need to be an MD to be a psychiatrist and that requires a BS in pre-med, about 4 years in medical school and then another 4 years studying to become a psychiatrist. Good luck!

Your undergraduate studies will support your coursework in your masters program. Just as you had prerequisites in your undergraduate courses, you will have them in your graduate work. You have gained knowledge of how people's behavior is affected in groups and that will be an advantage in either of these fields you mention. Congratulations on your success and enjoy grad school.

I doubt if it will. It isn't a particularly rigorous major.
