An epidemiologist is one whom studies the causes and effects of health disease conditions among the population, more of a detective of diseases. I have begun taking the necessary steps by completing my bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and the last step would be to obtain my Doctoral degree.

According to Allender, Rector, and Warner (2014), public health is a combination of both an art and a science (2014). The mission of public health nursing is to promote health, prevent disease and ultimately prolong life (Allender et al., 2014). In order for this to occur an assessment must take place. An aggregate or community assessment begins with a collection of data. This includes: the community’s health needs, risks, environmental conditions, financial resources through local census data, and a windshield survey (Allender et al., 2014). Through public health nursing, communities can collectively come together to help promote an overall better health standing.
...forming bench research at Barry University and Weill Cornell Medical College in the Traveler’s Research Fellowship, I have been exposed to the side of medicine where scientists work every day to find cures for diseases and save lives. Experiencing different aspects of medicine has made me a more competent individual to thrive in this field and has deepened my interest and passion to pursue medicine as a career.I believe that those who fight with so little against so much truly need others to help them in their struggle. Being a physician is not only becoming a successful professional. I will work hard to bring about necessary changes to end social disparities, so that more groups in society receive the best healthcare. By making a difference in their lives, I will receive rewarding experiences that are worth all the hard work and sacrifice my chosen career requires.
In every company or organization, no matter how big or how small, there will be employees and someone in a supervisory position to guide them; perhaps a manager. Being an employee can be a learning experience and if the company is the right fit for the employee, a career with the company can flourish. For example, an employee can start in an entry-level position and climb the corporate ladder to an executive position growing as the company does. An entry-level employee who is aware of the policies, culture, mission, and goals of an organization can move forward by taking advantage of continuous learning, knowledge management, and informal and formal training. Therefore, an entry-level position can be a great way to start a career.
As someone who has many aspirations in life, I understand having both long and short-term goals is important. One of my long-term professional objectives includes being a community service manager at a health center. With this I am hoping to work with many other healthcare professionals to coordinate health programs and initiatives to improve the health of communities. Having a background in health promotion alongside the leadership and management skills and the real world experience that I intended to gain from this program will give me all I need to make this
I have chosen Public Health as my career path because I have a passion for making a difference in people’s lives and helping others achieve their goals. Also, I chose healthcare as a career because health does not only focus on the physical aspects of wellness, but it applies to all areas of wellness, such as, intellectual, social, spiritual, financial, occupational, environmental and emotional wellness. Moreover, Public Health is a challenging, diverse and dynamic field. My philosophy of health is very simple, to prevent, improve and educate the lives of individuals, families, communities and the population. Besides, there is no safer way to touch people’s lives than through public
We are living in the most advanced era of science since human existence on earth. Be it engineering or health science, we have been facilitated with the blessings of scientific innovations. But, irony is, the health sector still lags far behind due to many adversities. During my clinical internship, I witnessed the sufferings of many patients which intrigues me to be a researcher, not just a clinician. Due to my parent’s occupation, I have been living in hospital area since my childhood. From that early moment, seeing the hapless poor people who even can’t afford a penny for their health, I was determined to be a doctor. But now, I realized I have to be a researcher to find out the best yet affordable management protocol for diseases.
I feel that my perception of public health nursing has grown exponentially. Prior to this semester, I had not considered a career in this concentration of nursing. Through clinical experiences, I have practiced many nursing skills. At the Montclair Community Medical Clinical, I was able to administer Tdap (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) vaccines as well as help with preliminary check ups by obtaining vital signs. I have been able to administer Tuberculosis Skin Test (Mantoux Test) to preschool level children and adults. I have been exposed to home health visits by attending orientation at the Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) and by shadowing a public health nurse during a home health visit in Victorville, CA. I have also had the opportunity to do teaching and first aid at the third annual Montclair Country Jamboree.
Beitsch et al. (2006) also conveys the main functions of state public health institutions, which include the assessment of diseases, policy development, and the commitment to health protection and promotion activities.

Public Health is the most important aspect of medicine. My studies in Public Health will go a very long way to help me grasp the proper concepts and tools needed to work with the government to bring sustainable solutions to health care problems faced by various communities today. Public Health issues touch almost every family in the USA today. I know that if the health sector was better funded, better equipped, and better managed, with clear and effective policies, this kind of suffering could been avoided. I want to go into public health because I believe strongly that I can contribute not only to my fellow Americans, but also to people all over the world. I anticipate that through proper planning, interventions and implementation of effective policies, one will be able to bring about much-needed change through my work with an NGO or non-profit affiliated with the UN.
...cco use. Concrete goals and objectives must be met and mastered in the pursuit of sustainable development. Forming strong partnerships to use and allocate resources is crucial to success. Policies must be created before training can ensue. Health educators left with the task of achieving sustainable development should not micro-manage the process. Above all, community members must understand and appreciate how personal health impacts the environment, economy, and society at large.
My passionate about preventive medicine continues throughout my medical school, I volunteered at the ministry of health polio eradication campaigns, where we went door to door across the rural areas of my city sought to vaccinate every child aged five or under. Later in 2005 after finishing medical school, I had to make a huge career decision, to finalize my list for the Assuit university residency match. I did my search and asked advice of my seniors.

To reiterate these six components, which are innovation, technical package, communication, management, and political commitment – the community is hand in hand associated with core functions of Public Health. In Public Health the three main core functions are assessment, policy development, and assurance. Assessment is a tool that helps monitors different health and environmental statutes to create, deploy, and identify solutions. It also used a diagnostic tool to investigate health-related problems and different health hazards. Policy development is an act of informing and educating those developed ideas and topics that help the communities and different organizations in their health care efforts. Lastly, assurance utilizes different laws and regulations to help in the aid of protecting the public or environment at risk. It also re-evaluates the laws and regulations to see its effectiveness and its quality (Schneider,
