Episode 141 of Public Health Careers

In this episode, I share 6 takeaways that I had during my Community Health Fellowship after completing my Master of Public Health program. These tips can be used for current students and for professionals in their public health careers. I break the takeaways into ‘before fellowship’, ‘during interview,’ ‘during fellowship’ and share two from each.

The takeaways are:
– Learn all you can
– Start early in your job/fellowship search
– Make sure you do your research
– Go above and beyond
– Stretch yourself
– Have fun
