I would like to work domestically. Is your Department still for me?
In addition to having several faculty members with an international focus, our faculty members conduct research within the local and national communities. Just as you will encounter public health agencies anywhere you find people, communities are not limited by borders. The principles of community based program planning, research, and advocacy are the same for a neighborhood in New Orleans as for a village in Cameroon.
