Projected Job Growth for Epidemiologists
-US Bureau of Labor Statistics

My time as a Mount Sinai MPH student helped broaden my perspective of public health. I began to see public health as a societal driver and highly intersectional and interdisciplinary. This is important for us to acknowledge in the nonprofit sector as we need to do a better job of partnering with each other, data-sharing, and developing comprehensive, wraparound programs for our constituents.
