PH Student Stories

"I thought the curriculum design is great and prepares the student for a career in the healthcare industry."

"I spent my career working as a bench scientist and wanted to pivot my career in a new direction...the MPH allowed me to stay true to my science background and offer a wide variety of employment options."

ALE Spotlight: Formative program evaluation of Mama’s Helping Hands, Inc.

ALE Spotlight: A longitudinal look at eligible population and low-dose computed tomography screening rates for lung cancer in Maine

"I am interested in helping improve healthcare for people who have been systematically excluded or marginalized by the health system."

"The faculty have been absolutely wonderful in cultivating a collegial and supportive atmosphere. I lived in Michigan for the duration of the program, so I was glad that the lack of in-person interaction didn't impact my ability to form relationships."

"When I started, I envisioned that I would complete the program and then figure out how to apply the learnings in a future career shift. However, I have been able to apply the learnings from the program at work in real time, throughout the journey."
