Learn About Careers in Public Health
Overview
Public health is a wide ranging, interdisciplinary pathway with the goals of protecting and improving the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations at local and global levels. Employers may include hospitals and clinics, direct service organizations, health departments, and public health advocacy and policy organizations. Roles will vary greatly depending on your employer, issue/population of interest and your geographic location. You do not have to be a trained clinician to have a career in public health, there are also wet and dry lab roles, and a variety of education, intervention and community based roles.

公共卫生研究生教育：
Any major at Wellesley can translate into a career in public health but certain skills and experiences, through courses, internships, and service opportunities will help better prepare you. For example, an extra stats course, internship or research experience involving data analysis will help prepare you for work in biostatistics or epidemiology. If you are interested in international or global health, learning a second language and having experience in community based work will be valuable.
