Description:
When we think of prestigious occupations we immediately jump to doctors and lawyers. However, there are many other options. While medical doctors help to heal patients who are already sick, an epidemiologist would work behind the scenes to help prevent this sickness from ever occurring in the first place. From your annual flu shot to a measles outbreak, these are the things epidemiologist work towards preventing everyday. Let’s take a look into this lucrative career of epidemiology in public health. Is epidemiology the right choice for you? What does it take to become an epidemiologist? Check out my newest video for the details! You won’t regret it ;)

I’m really glad people are finding these videos helpful! As of right now I have slowed my production due to school but will have new videos coming out soon. Thanks for all the support!
Solid video, was distracted by the studio gear in the background, do you produce music as well???
is texas a&m school of public health any good just got accepted
i just got accepted for mph in epidemiology. I was wondering how hard the math is and what kind of previous math education I would need like calculus.
sky nate I just talked to Nhan (guy in the video). He said congratulations and if you got accepted then you’re good lol
@@skynate3882 Please I want to know how the maths are because I don’t have a basic knowledge in calculation and I’m confused if I pick epidemiology
Thank you for this there are literally NO videos about MPH epidemiology post grad experiences 🙏🏾
Hi, did you end up doing your MPH in epidemiology?
Alexander Madu yes!
That's splendid news, may I have your email or any socials?, I would relish an opportunity to tap from your experience, thank you.
Alexander Madu I can get your info
@@Kay_ohay well, mines alexmaderich@gmail.com 🙂
I just graduated with my B.S. in Biology and minor in Health Disparities, which is also what led me to choose a public health route rather than medicine!! It's so reassuring to know there's someone out there with the same story and doing well because I've been feeling so lost :')))
Hi dude! I am literally in the position you were 10 months ago. I've been thinking about medicine for a while but leaning towards public health now. I hope you found your way, I am really interested in what you ended up doing??
Whatd you end up doing?
@@Desypul I'm actually in a masters program now getting my MPH in Epidemiology :)))
@@123pjrox nicee. Can u send me more info
I am literally in the same route. I finished my BA in biology and premedical studies. I initially wanted to go to med school. However I did lots of research and found that public health solves healthcare problems from their roots. It’s a lot of management and communication skills. I perusing an MPH degree now. Medicine is interesting but it is a long way career that requires passion and dedication. In public health, you can start working while you are studying so you can potentially gain more experience and ultimately become a healthcare professional. Just sharing my thoughts…
6 years is not too bad to become an Epi !
not as bad compared to some people being in med school for 10 years
thank you so much it has helped me a lot. i was confused about doing a master's in epidemiology or the master's in public health. but now i know that by doing pub health i can still get the epi knowledge as well as biostats and the general knowledge.
so glad someone made a good video on bio degrees and mph! if i knew back then what i knew now... 😩 but everything worked out for me and i'm in public health too!
Hello Chris ! Excellent video w good insight of the daily duties of the job. I will be starting in the Fall20, after 15 years of clinical work as a PA in California.
Current undergrad, and all I gotta say is ty for this video !!!
The whole concept of this video is awesome! And as an interviewer, you asked great questions. I’m in my MPH right now and just wanted to UA-cam a day in the life of an Epidemiologist. So glad I found this!
Also, Go Dawgs! 💜💛
Thanks Chris for this video. This is the first time l am listening to an epidemiologist. I am so grateful for this..
You're very welcome!
This was very helpful! I’m a health studies major and I’ve been wondering what I could do specifically with my major. I would love to know more in depth about how the masters program for epidemiologists works and the classes that are taken.
This was extremely helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much. I really need this information. I am planning to take master in epidemiology this year but I don't really know it is.
I really appreciate this video. Thank you
Thank you for making this video! Very helpful
Thanks for sharing this video I am bachelor's degree holder in biology and will start my MPH in epidemiology soon.
I am starting my MPH Epidemiology this fall, thank you for the insight!
Could you please let us know more about your experience? I got admitted but a little scared, as an international student, I'm not sure if it is easy or not. I heard it is really hard, harder than the B.Sc degree.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Super informative, thanks to both of you!!
Thanks for this! It's so informative
I really needed this video. Thank you;)
Super helpful!
Very helpful! Currently applying for a Masters in Public Health-Epidemiology... Thanks!
Thank you! This is very helpful oh my god
Awesome!
Hey man, I was wondering I can have his email info for any further questions. Thanks!
my undergrad is in public health and i was debating getting my masters in epidemiology but i don't know if i'm even smart enough but i'm super interested in it :(
of course you are! loads of uni’s/ colleges love public health undergrads for epidemiology
OH MY GOSH WOW I AM LITERALLY YOU!!! Did you decide to do it? I underestimate myself so much and I think like this all of the time. Please follow up if you could!!
I feel the same way. Epidemiology sounds so fascinating but it also sounds very hard to. I know no masters degree come easy.
Great video man
Awesome vid! Very helpful. I got my undergrad BAs in biology and psychology. I've considered medical school, pa school, nursing, and emergency management. Still can't decide after graduating 5 years ago so I've been working a call center job to get by and pay back loans. Epidemiology seems so cool and in a way, it is a combination of all the things I've considered. Thanks for this!
I got my undergrad BSc in psychology, I've been working in primary health (mental health settings) and as a high school psychologist. During my undergrad I got interested in public health, complex behavioral interventions and determinants of health applied to non-communicable disease (considering mental health as a chronic condition). I will start an MSc in Epidemiology in just a couple of weeks! My goal is to start an academic career in psychiatric or social epidemiology, we need more epidemiology science in Psychology for sure!
@@Khn90 Congratulations and I wish you well on your journey in the MSc program! I agree, there needs to be more focus on the psychological aspect of public health, but I bet there will likely be much more growth. It's great work you're doing!
You’re literally going through the same thing I am going through, hope we will find out way soon
Hey, I am currently looking for Epi internships right now and think one at the SDOH would be awesome. Any chance I can have the contact info for the gentleman you interviewed? Thanks!
My masters is in Public Health! Good degree :)
Mine too masters in public health epidemiology
What is the job outlook like?
@@carensumba9215 hello, what do you do as an epidemiologist?
Hi, I am very interested in the Public Health major ( epidemiology). Is there any way I can contact to Nhan to ask questions? Thank you very much!
Is there someone I can contact for kore information on this topic please.
Hi Chris, Thank you for making this video. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Could you connect me with him? Please.
Is it possible to study CLS after bachelors in biology?
Epidemiology what do you suppose Bread Ties came from ? Curious
What is the difference between MSc Public Health and MPH?
Which is better course based degree or thesis based degree
Hay quá
❤️
Cool
finished my nursing prereqs and feeling a bit lost in if thats what i want to do, im thinking of transferring to a uni and majoring in public health & getting a mph with epidemiology but i am not sure yet but this video felt reassuring that a lot of us feel lost in college in some point
SAMMMEEE!!! HERE!!! Omg I feel really lost bc I’m almost done with all my nursing prereqs and I don’t wanna do nursing but I also don’t wanna get a masters in PH so idk
@@tha1thaonlythatsme GIRL THE STRUGGLE i mean imma try public health see how it goes if not i can always go to nursing, since prereqs are done anyway so who knows maybe you should try it out
brenda yup I was thinking the same thing! Nursing will always be there, so is there any specific job youre interested in? Like I rlly don’t wanna go for my masters, I just wanna finish my bachelors lol but I feel like idek what public health offers tho with just a Bachelors ugh
@@tha1thaonlythatsme i also just wanna have a bachelors like i feel like having that calms my soul 😂 but i do wanna focus on public health with epidemiology tbh like more research based field im aiming for
@@lushvinyl I just came back to this video because I’m still indecisive.. lmao. Did u end up switching majors?
Can u pls ask him if I can connect with him via email? I am planning to apply to UW school of Public health, Epidemiology program and need some guidance regarding the university application. I would be really grateful if he can share few tips.
is texas a&m school of public health any good just got accepted
IMO, any school is a good school. All depends on what you do at said school which will yield results.
Health policy!
whats the job outlook/ salaries for an MPH?
99000k/annum
Can you ask him if he can share his email? I considering the MPH-Epi track and I have so many more questions!
Jacquie Hernandez of course! Private message me your email and I will connect the two of you 😊
@@cbeducation2716 did you go straight into grad school from from undergrad?
Young mentioned that he started off as an engineer, but was not good at Calculus and Physics. Being an epidemiologist does have math involved, how is it different? I'm also someone who does not excel in math, but is interested in epidemiology. How difficult would it be to get a Master in Epidemiology?
Hi Kelvin. I have a MPH in Epidemiology, and I am currently working on PhD in Epidemiology. The MPH is a professional degree with multiple concentrations (biostats, epidemiology, environmental science, behavior health, and health systems). Majority of MPH programs require one biostatistics class, however; for epidemiology concentrations most programs required a second biostatistics class. These two classes go over topics like correlations, chi-square test, analysis of variance, T-Test, multivariable regression analysis (linear, logistic, poisson, cox proportional hazards models). The intro to epidemiology class does have some easier math in it, such as proportions, percentages, and etc. Typically, you take principles of epidemiology, intermediate epidemiology, design and analysis, biostatistics 1 and 2 then you have to take 9 hours of electives. Some electives might be topic related (cancer, infectious disease, chronic disease) or more method based (math modelling, survey design, sampling methods, and etc).
@@canine3206 Hi Erin, thanks for your reply!! I do recognize some of the statistical terms you mentioned, seems like it's not too heavy in mathematics. And I feel confident that if I work hard, I can probably do well even without a strong math background!
@@canine3206 Hi Erin, I have a Bachelors in nursing and would like to pursue a masters in Epidemiology. Is this advisable?
The math is just statistics.. Pretty simple.
I am on the same boat as you who's math is not the strength, but the problem arises - how much math and data analysis you can handle at work in the real world after graduation? If your job requires tones of math skills and your colleagues are way better than you, then you will look pretty bad.

Hey! I was wondering where we got his degree from and as a international student which colleges i should apply for as a aspiring epidemiologist
Him and I both went to the University of Washington. I think he really enjoyed it. It's a great school!
What's the pay of an epidemiologist like ?
A K starting you can get around 65,000 but you can eventually make past 120,000
@@TacomanDezzy Cool. Are you an epidemiologist? If so, in what city? Current salary?
he meant to add informatics when he was listing the 5 😏
