Hello everyone,
I didn't realize how much the public health field interested me until I've nearly completed my undergrad in health science. I'll soon have a BS in health sciences with a pre physical therapy track but I'm very interested in working as a public health educator. My school offers an MPH with a concentration in health education but I was thinking it'd be a good idea to get some work experience.
My prof told me to check out Michigan's public health site but all of the jobs want specific bachelors degree such as in public health, environmental health, or health education. My degree seems too general for these positions.
Do you have any advice on where I can look for opportunities for employment? Even volunteer work would be excellent. I really want to get my foot in the door but I'm lost at where to start.
Thanks for any advice.
