During 25 years working for a world famous hospital I worked for a number of men (and women) with *both* “MD” and “PhD” after their names. But when seen alone “PhD” means nothing to me.

She earned a Ph.D in public health.

The PhD Public Health course focuses on both the practical field work and the theoretical work in order to enhance the hygiene standards of the communities and enable people to live a healthy lifestyle.

This multidisciplinary degree provides advanced education in public health along with mastery of skills in management, leadership, communications, and innovation thinking.

The academic training will cover the biological, social, and economic foundations of public health, as well as essential statistical, quantitative, and methodological skills you will need to address today’s complex public health challenges, which rarely fall within neat disciplinary boundaries

It’s not a lightweight degree
