Today’s world is more globally connected than ever. And with the rapid spread of travel and information, comes the potential for public health risks.
No one likes to think about public health emergencies like SARS and the Zika virus, but committed, trained professionals are needed to step up, respond, and protect our communities from these threats to our collective safety. That’s where public health professionals, trained to respond to public health emergencies, infectious disease outbreaks, and chronic disease epidemics like diabetes and obesity, come in.
