Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on my personal statement. My basic idea to start it off is about how my family members fell ill with cancer when I was very young, and it inspired me to go into the field of disease prevention. My problem is that I don't know whether to go for a concentration in health policy and management, epidemiology, or environmental/occupational health. The last two concentrations work with this idea of disease prevention very well, however I'm not sure if it would be as relevant for health policy and management, since to me it seems to be more about improving the health care system and access to health care rather than preventing diseases, while epi and environmental health don't seem as focused on the access to health care as they are with prevention, however they may use the idea of disparities to remedy this discrepency.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
