What CH Alums Have to Say About the Program
Laura, ‘03
Along with half my freshman class I thought medicine was my professional future. However, after researching marketing strategies in the tobacco industry targeting women and studying racial disparities in health care, I quickly shed my narrow view of health. I am determined to find a career that will allow me to apply what I learned in the CHP - a blend of health, policy, and curiosity.
Recently, a director at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene told me that she hired me because, during my interview, I spoke so passionately about my education and experience in the CHP. Of course, this makes complete sense. Every Community Health class I took communicated enthusiasm and I quickly developed strong relationships with professors that I have no doubt will continue for the rest of my life.

The diverse curriculum of the Community Health Program provided me with a foundation of skills and knowledge that I continue to utilizes as I further my education in this field. The Community Health Program is unique in that it truly fosters individual growth.
