Careers in Global Health - a panel discussion

This was a live Panel Discussion in which questions about working in Global Health were asked by students. Questions like: How do I find a job in global health? Should I do a PhD? How do I network in the global health space? And many more.

Global health (and public health) is truly multidisciplinary and leans on epidemiology, health economics, health policy, statistics, ethics, demography.... the list goes on and on. This YouTube channel is here to provide you with some teaching and information on these topics. I've also posted some videos on how to find work in the global health space and how to raise money or get a grant for your projects.

Please feel free to leave comments and questions - I'll respond to all of them (we'll, I'll try to at least). Feel free to make suggestions as to future content for the channel.

Careers in Global Health - video panel discussion 

[gianfrancomorote]

Grear videos! I have been following your channel for a while now but never had the chance to really look at all your content till now that I am in summer break. I hope one day to work in malnutrition and food insecurity in developing countries.

Watched nearly all your video's and it starts to feel like you're my new professor! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! A topic I am personally interested in: pain relief for terminally ill patients in low income countries.

This was superb. Brian mentioned quantitative skills, would there or is there an appear for Genomics 🧬 skill sets in global health? Further to that - which skill set is more desirable; Genomic or Health Economics? Or both?

Another great video from this channel. I am very interested in pursuing a career in Global Health. I have a Pharmacy background (BSc.Pharm) but I am not interested in working in the areas of Global Health associated with Pharmacy, I am more interested in Medical Anthropology and Mental Health. I was just wondering if it's smarter to Study a MSc. in Global Health to learn the skill sets needed in the field e.g. Epidemiology, Economics, Policy Making while researching the areas of study I am interested in or pursue a degree in Anthropology/Psychology first then do an MPH?

Dear Greg. Watched this video and many more from your channel and I just want to say: THANK YOU for making Global Health more transparent to the world. I have been playing with the idea of pursuing a career in Global Health- and every video I watch on your channel, especially this one, makes me fall in love with the idea more and more. Keep going, its great!
