Health promotion and disease-prevention are stressed. Public health officials are often trained in epidemiology, biostatistics, nutrition, management, and public policy. Jobs are available in non-profit organizations, clinics, government agencies, and industry. Many public health training programs are Master\u2019s-level programs, which can be completed in approximately two years. For more information on public health careers, see the ASPH webpage and the 'What is Public Health?' webpage. Prerequisites: Prerequisite courses vary by program. Courses in science, social and behavorial science, statistics, and communication are suggested.\u00a0 Check individual programs of interest. Most schools require a standardized entrance exam (MCAT or GRE), check individual programs. Experience working\/volunteering in a public health setting (clinic, non-profit agency, health departments) To apply, most schools participate in a centralized application service, SOPHAS."}
