MCH_Hopeful_2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 A bit of an oddball question but: Is anyone else planning on taking on any health or personal goals from now until Fall? I’m working on getting into shape, resting more (tough with a kid), and reading a new book a week. CatMeow1234 and StaticL 2

maplebeaver Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Has anyone heard back from McGill for the PhD in epidemiology?
niram Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 This may not be the best time for this question but I was wondering what were some motivations for people to choose DrPH programs over PhD? I had a hard time deciding which ones I wanted to apply to. I chose PhD mostly because of the funding. Were there other factors that you guys considered?
BxEPI Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 I suppose people doing DrPH may already have a career and so they could stay on while studying. And I also feel it is for people seeking leadership roles. Are DrPH offered any funding? Curious to know too. I would choose PhD with the impression that it is more methodological intensive. niram 1

Yes, you got it right. I chose DrPH (specifically part-time) because I don't want to leave my job. My intent is to work on an issue (aligned with the work I am doing), test countermeasures at my organization or in partnership with the County. I am interested in seeking leadership positions upon completion. The ones I applied and researched did not offer any funding. oboecho and niram 2

BabyFarmer Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Hey everyone! I'm mostly in philosophy (bioethics) but I'm wondering if anyone has any intel on Toronto's SBHS program. I applied in November and still haven't heard anything.

I don't want to leave my job but want to advance to a leadership role in my government organization. For background, this was my second time applying to only part-time (and online) programs. I only applied to one of the programs last year. I tailored my application materials specific to the program the second time and chose potential advisors who were a better fit. Another motivation for me was teaching at the university level without being a full-time academic. Funding wasn't necessarily a high priority for me since I'm already in a successful career in government, but it sounds like there are still some opportunities available to teach or guest lecture in specific courses, per my advisor. I'll probably find out more information about those opportunities later this week. DrPH21 and niram 2

niram Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Thanks for the responses about why you chose DrPH programs. Relatedly, can we start a thread about which programs offer funding or some kind of tuition reimbursement for them? Global Ambassador 1

I actually have no idea - usually I look back to see prior year timelines, but with COVID I figure this year will not necessarily follow prior year timelines Edited March 3, 2021 by CatMeow1234 wrote same thing 2x by accident

LuluDrPH77 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Aside from actually applying to a DrPH program…would visiting the campus, making a good impression on my potential committee members, having personal contact with the department head of the program (ex: exchanging cell numbers) whom I share similar goals with and who wants to be the chair of my committee, being in contact with former students, and being eligible to apply for a scholarship increase my chances of being accepted?
PublicHealthPhD2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 On 3/1/2021 at 2:04 PM, Notwherebutwhen said: Updated- This is for Ph.D. programs Accepted: BU (interviewed), NYU (interviewed) Pending decisions: UCLA (interviewed), USC (no interview) Rejected: Emory (interviewed) Anyone heard back from UCLA CHS and USC HBR yet? I'm seeing few acceptance for those two programs in the results page, so I'm just waiting for a rejection. Hi there, I was accepted into USC's HBR program in the end of January, but have yet to hear back from UCLA's CHS program! I heard UCLA is going to send out more decisions this month. Wishing you the best of luck! I hope you get into your program of choice.
