Concerns that were typically reserved for health professionals, community organizers, and local and state governments, are now the concerns that keep regular citizens up at night. How do I keep my family safe? Are the businesses I visit following the latest health and safety guidelines? What do I do if I may have been exposed? It can be a real nightmare. Those in the public health field also recognize that these are some of the most challenging times many of us have ever lived through. Yet, this is where public health professionals shine. These are the challenges that they are trained to handle!<\/p>\n<p>If you are also looking to enter the heroic public health field, becoming a public health director could be the perfect career path.\u00a0 This rewarding position allows professionals to exercise their strategic planning and research skills while keeping people safe. There are <strong><em>four key areas<\/em><\/strong> that you should investigate about the public health director job before embarking on the first step: applying for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/mph\/\">Master\u2019s Degree in Public Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Understand Public Health Director Salaries<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>The earning potential for public health directors, both across the United States and in Connecticut, is very robust.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/management\/medical-and-health-services-managers.htm#tab-5\"><strong>National Figures<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The median annual public health director salary in the U.S. is $100,980, as of May 2019. While the specific setting that you work in will affect your compensation, the average Public Health Director makes about $10k more than the average management salary for all occupations. Here are some sectoral examples. You can earn up to $111,520 annually if you land a job in government. Meanwhile, hospitals pay around the median salary: $110,430. An average public health director salary at an outpatient care center is $95,320. Physician\u2019s offices pay $91,600, while at a residential care or nursing facility, the national average is $86,820.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes119111.htm#st\"><strong>Connecticut State Figures<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The strong national salary figures for Public Health Directors also hold true in Connecticut. The annual mean wage for public health directors in CT is $128,970\u2014$28k more than the median national average. In fact, CT ranks 10<sup>th<\/sup> in the nation for the highest public health director salary, and in this state, you would be making an estimated $62 an hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What\u2019s the Public Health Director Job Outlook?<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>As our news media can attest, we need more healthcare workers, and we need them now. Specifically, as one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/09\/opinion\/sunday\/coronavirus-public-health-system-us.html\">New York Times opinion piece<\/a> suggests, the public health system in America deserves more federal funding and attention. In April 2020, the author interviewed Dr. Tom Frieden, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who believes that, \u201cPublic health is the best bang for our collective buck. It has consistently saved the most lives for the least amount of money.\u201d Dr. Frieden is referring to public health innovations in America throughout the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century that saved countless lives from needless demise. We don\u2019t think it\u2019s a stretch to say that entering the public health field at the peak of a pandemic is both smart and conscientious for America\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not surprising to hear that public heath director employment rates are rising, but the rapid growth and future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/management\/medical-and-health-services-managers.htm#tab-6\">outlook<\/a> is still somewhat shocking.\u00a0 The average national employment rate for all jobs is rising at 4%. By comparison, the field of public health management is rising at 32%. That is eight times the national average! Between 2019 and 2029, the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects that 133,200 medical and health service manager jobs will be created nationally.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What do Public Health Directors Do?<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Public health directors are like orchestra conductors. They organize teams of staff members and maintain records and information systems, ensuring that patient or client needs are met satisfactorily so that the concert can continue. Public health directors use advanced technologies to collect, sort and interpret data. They might manage an entire facility or department, and their jobs require not just healthcare knowledge, but also an understanding of relevant laws and regulations. Budget development and maintenance, as well as partaking in continued education, are other facets of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/management\/medical-and-health-services-managers.htm#tab-2\">public health director role<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Steps to Becoming a Public Health Director<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/management\/medical-and-health-services-managers.htm#tab-4\">become a Public Health Director<\/a>, you\u2019ll need at least a bachelor\u2019s degree.
