What sparked your interest in public health?
Health care has been a primary emphasis of mine for years, and I like focusing on “big picture” health issues affecting populations today. I didn’t know much about public health at all until last year, when I began researching careers in health management. Now I am enrolled in the dual degree MPH/MBA program and am having a blast!
