Just wondering if anyone has used two qualitative approaches in one study, presumably in two separate phases?

This question is for homework would you make an intervention culturally competent or make sure that it’s culturally competent thank you

I am a current 17 y/o senior based in the Bay Area graduating around June and want to find an unpaid internship/externship for this summer specifically based with anything engineering/biotech/wet lab/pre-med based. I understand that it may be too late but I am also open to research opportunities still open right now.

Bay area location would be ideal as well as a program that is at least a month ideally 2+ months long and the reason I want an externship/unpaid is that I am under an H4 visa which has many restrictions on internships + lack of companies wanting to sponsor a ssn.

I would really appreciate the help I have been cold emailing and researching many just for them to not accept applicants right now or only accept citizens + 18+ in age.

Currently, I have emailed ucsf for volunteering (no reply yet), sutter health (require me to be 18)

Hi, dentist here considering mph with a Career in epi in mind, chronic disease epi specifically. But I am starting to think that maybe epi is a bit far from my background? Is it possible? Anyone with a similar experience?

Ok I know I’m going to sound like an ignorant idiot but help me figure out how to understand this because im very very confused

1. If I want to measure the association between disease x and disease y specifically in postmenopausal women

2. The association of disease x and y is well established in crude studies

3. I want to use data from an ongoing cohort study that is only postmenopausal women

My question is: who am I comparing the post menopausal women to? or am I just searching for a strong correlation between x and y? and what statistical test am I trying to do ?

Does this make sense?

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone had any experience or insight on part time or per diem type positions in public health. I graduated with an MPH in epidemiology in '21 and this year will be graduating from PA school. I have an ICU job lined up for after graduation, but with credentialing I won't be able to work until late August/early September. I could work as a medical assistant/scribe/tutor while waiting for my license but I was hoping to get a part time job specifically in public health to get back into the swing of things after focusing on clinical medicine for the last few years. Also of course to make some money to start paying back student loans. I'll be working three 12 hour shifts a week eventually, and was hoping to keep a per diem type role once I'm working as a PA as well. Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I am so broke lol

Been looking for an idea for a personal project to work on while I am teaching myself Python.

So what I came up with is a project to put together some data visualizations that address common misconceptions and misinformation that is pushed by conspiracy theorists. If nothing else, it would be something fun to bring to next Thanksgiving.

Some examples I have already thought of are

"Every death was just called a covid death in 2020"

And

"Covid is just the flu"

Would appreciate most suggestions to add.

Looking for suggestions! I’m in a class where I need to write a 10 page paper about something related to sanitation. It has to be a specific pathogen, outbreak or scenario that’s CURRENT and RELEVANT to public health.

Please let me know if you have some good topics for me!

Hi everyone,

I recently graduated from an MPH program with a concentration in Policy and Management. I was a full-time student and full-time employee for a health system here in my state. Therefore, I was unable to do research projects outside of school assignments or do graduate assistantships during my time as a student. I did do my practicum at a resource center teaching classes and loved working with community members. Now that I am applying for jobs in the field, I am having the hardest time finding entry-level positions or positions that don't require years of experience in the public health field. I know I lack experience, but I am a fast learner, and a determined person to help communities. Any advice I can get in getting my foot in the door or any organizations that I can apply to? I am job searching on LinkedIn and have applied to several government and non-profits.

Hello, everyone! I've applied and gotten through the initial interview to the next stage of the recruitment process for the National Health Corps in San Francisco. Currently, they haven't finalized the host sites or position descriptions, so I'm hanging tight until they get that figured out before I move onto the host site interviews.

During this time of waiting, I hoped to hear from or connect with NHC alumni to hear about your experiences with serving in SF! I'd appreciate if you had any insight, advice, etc., regarding the service, host site interviews, or anything else that might be worth keeping in mind as I continue on with the recruitment process. Thanks in advance!

 Hello, I’m so sorry if this is inappropriate to ask here, but does anyone that has participated in the PHAP program know if there is a drug test involved at any point? 
 I’m working on my personal statement and am very hopeful but have been using THC enough to test positive for it for quite some time potentially. Again, I’m so sorry if this is not the place to ask this, but I’m just trying to get some information on the topic, thanks! 

Hi all,

Just as the title says, I plan to go full time with my MPH program this fall and have been considering applying “full time” for some health research positions in the area to pay for rent, utilities, food, and my car. How doable is a full time position with a full time mph? Truthfully, I might only remain full time for a year considering i need to complete an internship in the fall but has anyone else done this?

Much appreciated! I’m reaching out to labs rn but so far no luck.

I'm doing epi&biostats.

Grad school starts on Septembr and I am currently doing nothing but working at the fulltime at retail store.

Idk what i should do before going to gradschool. Any lecture vids that you guys recommend? Should I look for an internship/reserach experince before I go to the school so that I can start right away?

pretty much title…what should I expect in this interview? The job description seems vague but I still feel confident that I’m qualified. I’m 1year from graduating with my BSPH and I have experience as a phlebotomist 🫠 The requirements are only a HS diploma. The description didn’t mention needing a CHW cert but I was hoping I could get certified on the job 😬 (Sorry if this is a dumb ass question 🥲)

Is a degree in public health at slo worth it? What would future jobs look like? What would the pay be like?

I want to switch my major from public health to kinesiology. Is the process super difficult? Or am I better off just staying in public health? I’m an incoming freshman.

I completed my MPH two years ago and looking into PhD programs now. Almost all the PhD programs want someone with publications. During my program, I was involved in research with a professor but I was merely doing the data collection and simple analysis. I asked if I could use the data and publish something out of it, but she told me that the research project was not yet completed. I didn't get the chance to publish.

For my thesis, I analyzed secondary data. My advisor didn't encourage me to publish. Two of the top students in my cohort were encouraged to submit their manuscript with the help of the professors. It made me think my thesis was not high in quality.

I have a friend from a different program whose advisor encouraged her to submit it to a low impact journal. She has a publication under the belt. I wish I was encouraged to publish my paper.

I'm in my fourth semester of five for my Masters program, concentrating in community health practice. I've been really trying to make the most of my time in school so that I actually have a marketable resume when I get out, but one area I feel like I'm really lacking is any sort of proficiency with programs like STATA, ARC GIS, or Tableau. Same goes for qualitative analysis software like Dedoose and Nvivo

As a community health person they just haven't really been a part of my course work - like, at all. I've gotten a lot of experience with program planning and administration, and I can do some very, very basic stuff in STATA and R but that's about it. I've never even had the opportunity to use a lot of the software I see people asking for proficiencies with when I look at job postings so I'm getting kind nervous about my future job prospects.

Does anyone have suggestions on where to start, or how to even get access so I can learn?

I’m aiming to do a public health major rn and I’m making my schedule for 2nd year undergrad. Everyone is saying I should do stats if I want to get my masters in epidemiology but I hate math and stats is so hard. I was thinking about epidemiology first but I didn’t know it was so stats extensive. I want to somewhat work with clinical stuff and mostly aim for an infection prevention career, but I’m not sure what courses to take other than the major science course I took which are two bios, and the public health classes that fulfill my public health degree requirement

Hey there,

Trying to make the decision between the online mph in global health at NYU and the in person program at UNC. Any NYU alumni that have reviews of the program? I have a pretty good handle on UNC but still looking for more info on NYU.

Hey guys! I'm trying to decide if I should do MBA or MHA after getting my undergrad. I'm currently a junior at USC majoring in Business Administration. I plan to do my master's right after I get my undergrad degree. I've been reading as much as I can about each program and I'm slightly leaning more towards an MHA. If anyone has any experience about either programs, pls feel free and chime in. Also, do you guys have any recommendations about specific jobs/internships I should be doing to gain more experience as I've read that experience is what really matters in the field. And as far as experience goes, does that mean I can work any medical/hospital job and that would count as experience?

A little bit about me:

I was a Navy Corpsman for 6 years. The first 2 years, I worked in the cardiology ward at Naval Hospital in San Diego and the rest of my career was spent with the Marines providing Trauma care. My goal is to become a hospital administrator in the near future.

Thank you all so much in advance. I know I'm not the only one on this path so I hope that this thread will be helpful to many others like myself.

Hi everyone,

I feel like I am having a career mid life crisis. I have a bachelors in healthcare administration and a masters in public health. I’ve previously worked as an administrator in training for senior living and I currently work as a program manager for a health program… I ultimately decided not to pursue being an administrator due to the work life balance. Idk exactly how I got to my MPH…. All I knew was I loved the healthcare field and wanted to advance my education. Now I’m stuck. All I know is I enjoy operations and administrative duties. Pretty broad, but I cannot narrow it down. My strengths are heavily on project coordination.

Here for some advice… thinking to pivot into quality improvement or compliance and preferably for a health insurance company. Anyone in this area currently that can share a day in your life in this area? I’ve tried applying but I get multiple rejections.

Good luck to those who are! If anyone has attended it before, I’m interested in hearing how it went and what it was like.

Hi everyone, I'm currently getting my degree in public health with focus on health promotion and health behavior. I'm currently also considering moving on to apply to a PA program after. I'm curious, if being a PA doesn't work out, what options do I have with my bachelors? I'm genuinely loving my degree and love what I'm learning. I'm working as a Medical Assistant right now as well to have a foot in the door and gain experience. Thank you for any insight!

Hello everyone, I was curious if you knew of any jobs in public health that involve working in the field and interacting with people in person? I specifically love working with kids. Any jobs that come in mind?
