Great to find this Forum. I am currently working in the public health field in Canada, interested in pursuing a master degree through online learning. I have applied to LSHTM's Msc public health program distance learning learning and got accepted. I am still not quite decided on this yet with a few questions in mind and wonder if I can get any insight on this forum. Anyone have more idea/experience with this school? My limited knowledge is only from Internet search which showed the school is very well known in the area of public health. I am also not sure if a Canadian or even US program will be better for me considering I am working in the North America environment. One of the reason I applied to the LSHTM program was that it requires no on campus component or practicum which will impose minimum interruption to my work and family life, I am not sure if a practicum will be beneficial to get some more experience, although I am already in the public health field, practicum might not be that crucial to me anyway. I am also not sure why most Canadian & US programs requires a on campus component?
