How can I get an entry level public health job?

The qualifications and skills that you need to get an entry-level public health job depend on the position for which you wish to apply. You can start on this career path by earning a bachelor’s degree in public health (BPH), or a related field such as community development or healthcare administration. You can also begin a public health career in areas such as epidemiology by earning a master’s degree in your chosen specialty. Master’s in public health (MPH) programs allow you to specialize in a specific subject (such as healthcare education or environmental health).
