public health PA?

[jwtaylor]

im interested in international and public health. i used to want to be a social worker with a focus on public health policy. however, i'd like some clinical training hence my interest in being a PA. i have been considering an MPH for a while too. what kind of jobs in public health could a PA get? despite the PA's limits of practice in other countries, what kind of jobs could i get abroad working on public health initiatives? anyone know anything about this?

there are a few dual degree pa/mph programs like touro in ca...might meet all your needs.

Please, if your focus is international or public health, and I do agree these are noble pursuits, GO TO A CHEAP PROGRAM. Do not get yourself deeply in debt for a master's PA program when you already have an MPH and you are looking at a traditionally low-paying field.
Good luck,
