Combining MPH with Chemistry

[Teeem]

Hello all,

I am on the verge of starting a Epidemiology certificate and was wondering what sort of career options I might have if I combine that with industry chemistry experience.

I don't want to be a lab rat anymore which is the reason why I'm moving into public health. I also have about a semester worth of chemistry grad courses under my belt. My company stopped paying for the courses which is the reason why I stopped.

I guess what it all boils down to is can I use my chemistry experience without getting having to put on a lab coat everyday.

Thanks in advance for all advice.

My gut tells me your chemical background leads nicely into toxicology, risk assessment, and pharmico epidemiology specialties in public health.
