Public Health
Public health is a field of study that focuses on the health and wellbeing of communities. It examines the health risks posed by environmental, social and economic conditions, and works to develop policies, programs and initiatives to improve public health outcomes. Public health professionals work in a variety of roles including researchers, policy makers, social workers, health educators and public health administrators. Their work encompasses a wide range of areas from immunizations and communicable disease control, to mental health promotion, environmental public health and occupational health and safety. The goal of public health is to protect, promote and improve population health, through research, education and advocacy.
