Thank you for offering up your experience and time for us, makingtheleap.back. I got my acceptance email this afternoon, and I'm really excited about the prospect of being able to come to Sanford. I visited for a day back in late November and talked to a couple students, but I didn't get tot talk to career services or meet many faculty. I am primarily interested in public health policy, particularly mental health, addiction, sexual health, and healthcare delivery.
I know that Sanford has been promoting the strengths in healthcare policy, and I was really hoping to get one of the Margolis Scholarships. Since that didn't happen, I'm suddenly feeling a bit anxious about whether you sense health policy and management is a strength at Sanford, since you didn't list in in the post you wrote in January. I'd like to work for academic research hospitals, state departments of health, or maybe boutique consulting with the right focus. Does this seem like a path to pursue at Sanford?
I want to echo what Arturo asked about your sense of MPPs interested in further study. I might want to pursue a PhD in health policy specifically before I go out into practice, and the faculty/student ratio seems to support that ambition. Thanks again for your time!
