What are some good ways to get funding for an MPH program and study abroad programs?
I will be starting my MPH in epidemiology in the fall and I do not have much money. My entire education has been self funded. I am very interested in being a field epidemiologist and do more hands on work. I have seen some great summer programs where students can go to developing countries and help with relief efforts. The only set back is that I don't have the money to pay out of pocket for these trips. I really want to help as much as I can. I already volunteer at two local agencies and I am with a public health group on campus. What are some ways to get funding in order to travel abroad, and are there study abroad programs for Masters of Public Health students? Thanks! #epidemiology #public-health #mph #graduate-school #masters-degree

MPH or MSOT? I have been struggling with deciding if I should pursue a MPH or a masters of science in Occupational Therapy?
I am very indecisive, especially when it comes to choose a career and one that pays well. I was leaning towards a MPH however Occupational Therapy has been in my head lately also because I feel as I am going to be " licensed" or " qualified" and I will always find a job easily, compared to a MPH, while the jobs are endless with a MPH I can't help but to think that I'll just be working in an office all day typing and doing paperwork. :( help will be deeply appreciated. #career #occupational-therapy #medicine #career #physical-therapy #public-health #medical #mph
