i want to say thank you for having this channel. as someone who is finding herself at a crossroad with where to focus my career in public health, your channel has been monumental. thank you, thank you!
Excellent Video - for all - entry, mid-career, senior leader. A must listen/view. The quadrant graph organizes one's thinking.
+Terry L Schmidt DrHA thanks for your kind words (glad you liked it Terry). You have actually helped shape much of my thinking in this area.
I liked and learned about many aspects of public health in this video presentation made by Dr. Greg Martin. Many thanks to Dr. Greg Martin. I learned about four areas of competencies needed to be effective in public health, and importance on management, leadership, and governance.
+Ratna Mandal Glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you for these free materials helping us, wish you more success.
This is very important and interesting. Thank you Sir.
Studied Human anatomy in my Undergraduate studies, but I must say that this video is highly informative. Thanks
Really helpful for me as I venture into the beautiful realm of Public Health. There's always room to learn no matter where you are! Thank you, Dr. Martin!
+Max DaVinci I liked the use of the term "beautiful realm of Public Health" :)

Such a great video! Thank you so much for this.
Important topic! (especially the management competencies in public health)
I am staring my MPH this October and I am so glad I found your CZcams channel (through one of your LinkedIn posts). This video and many others I have already seen was really useful, thank you Dr Martin.

Awesome Greg. Highly Appreciated. Thanks for the video.

Outstanding video , Thanks a lot, this is what I was looking for!
Glad it helped!
A well organised and informative video for mid career public health professionals like me. Great done job. Hope this will help others and they will implement on their day to day activities particularly management.
+ARUNABH RAY thanks - good luck with your work!
Yes, management skills are sorely undervalued in public health. Solicitation of feedback and managerial knowledge of the nitty gritty of the work is not there in my state agency. The managers see their work as being easy; they simply decree their ideas the best (authoritarian style) and ignore the festering issues in ancient business processes, only paying lip service to the idea of making improvements long enough to zone out for the day on poorly organized conference calls.
The managers are lucky if they have someone they supervise that actually cares about the processes, but it will be an uphill battle to get change from that starting point. Public health in America must be in an even sorer shape than the system of Ireland, where there is at least acknowledgement of the value of public life.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you Dr. Greg for this important video. I liked how you did emphasis on the importance of getting management skills before becoming a manager.
+Mohammed Liswi thanks for the comment. Yes, too often people land up in a position with responsibilities without having the skills needed. Management is something that we can all make an effort to learn about.

Informative video on skills and competencies for public health.
+Ratna Mandal glad you liked it
hi dr.Greg!! Im a medical student and I was searching for your mail id in the internet to ask u my doubts regarding MPH! In the comment section my doubts are already asked and you've answered each one of it! thanks alot sir!!
Hi Grace - I'm glad that the comment section has been helpful (that's good to know). Good luck...
Thanks Greg. Good video for all levels . Well presented and summarized through the quadrant model. Fully endorse the importance of management, governance and leadership in Public Health, based on more that 30 years in Public Health, half of which has been with the WHO
+Firdosi Mehta Thanks very much for the comment - great to get feedback from someone with as much experience as yourself. :)

Hi firdos, im a young public health professional in india and going to start my first job, It would be great if you can direct me on how to get a mentor. Please reply if you are interested in it and if you know someone who can help me, I dont have money and resources to pursue a MPH, im a social worker.
Enjoyed listening PH competencies,
Wow wow excellent video, very helpful
Much appreciated Felicia!!
Dr. Greg,
This is one of the very few motivating content I have come across. I think it's time I advance my knowledge in public health/Global health by going for MPH or related course, to complement my M.Sc. Social Work - Community Development and B.Tech in Animal Production in Health.
Thanks for the comment Aanu - good luck with your plans to do an MPH (its a great idea). Happy day. Greg
Found it very inspirational.
Such an informative video Dr. Martin! I like how this video was organized and it was good to see what type of skills will be helpful for my career.

It would be great if you would talk about health Science and Science in health careers., also their differences, you explain everything so nicely,
I enjoyed the video. Even though I'm not in the field of public health I appreciate your well presented, knowledgeable and passionate explanations of the public health landscape. Keep up the good work.

Many many thanks!! So glad to hear that
Thanks so much for all the great advice. Don't know if I would've enrolled in the MPH program if not for your videos. My favorite Greg Martin quote: "Don't be afraid to fail."

Thank you for this eye-opener video Dr Martin,
I am a medical student in my final year , in moqdisho , capital of Somalia. I am very curious to know more about public health and Global health, because health system of is even below the developing world , we are the running at last line, so keep us updating and I hope hear you much.
Thanks for the message ! Good luck with your final year of medicine. I'm delighted that you're interested in public health and global health!! Keep in touch.
Keep going bro may allah make you easy insha allah
Great video - you make the concepts so easy to understand. Just made the decision to embark on an MPH and find all your videos extremely helpful and informative - you are a great educator.

totally inspired as im taking my degree in public health.this actually gave me an insight of what is going in my field so expecting more of this kind of videos especially the ones to support my run in public health(public health epidemiology)
Thanks for the feedback Unodziba (I like your name by the way). Glad to hear that you're studying public health. I'll be creating more videos like this very soon. Have a great day. Greg

This is a great video, I especially like the quandrants. It gave me a better idea of where to focus my knowledge seeking to become a stronger public/global health candidate. I just completed my masters in international development and worked in Liberia for 6 years in the education and health sectors. I have functional knowledge (quadrant 3) and currently taking online courses through CDC to gain the technical knowledge (quadrant 1), so it is necessary for me to get a second masters? Do you have any suggestions of my approach for breaking in to the field?
Thanks for the question Wanneh. My feeling is that if you already have a masters and you are clearly making an effort to broaden your knowledge and skill, you really don't need another masters degree. International development is a great stepping stone to global health and there are a lot of overlapping themes and issues. My suggestion is that you identify a development issue that you're interested in that has significant implications for health and focus on that. Good luck!!
what a wonderful clear Matrix , it helped me to organize my thoughts about PH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
You are most welcome Mariam

Thank you for your extremely useful video (indeed the whole series is excellent). I am a junior doctor working in the UK with an interest in a career in Global Health. I am planning to do a Master's at LSHTM in the next year or so. In the video you mentioned various online resources for developing in skills in management, leadership and governance. Other than doing a course in Excel or an MBA, are there any particular online courses that you would recommend for those at an earlier stage of their career such as myself to develop these skills?
Hi Adam - thanks for the question (sorry about the delay in getting back to you). I'm actually in the thick of creating a video that deals specifically with this issue - I'll have the video up in the next few weeks (so watch this space).
Wow! What a great video with very relevant information.
I am close to finishing my masters in Public health and I am interested in healthcare data analysis. Please can you kindly tell me what databases and softwares I need to learn to achieve this.
Thanks
Very interesting. Good advice given.

Its a fantastic video filled with information that is highly pertinent.
I was just wondering if you think that being a pharmacist and having a master's degree in public health gives me some sort of advantage over other people in the same field; more specifically, do you think that the pharmacy can add some sort of advantage to the public health master; more specifically, do you think that my experience working in a pharmacy can help me find a job in the public health field?
very informative, really a spur to learn more

Hi Greg, great videos! I've learned quite a lot about GH from your channel and especially from the first 3 videos in the 'Careers in Global Health' series. Will you be posting the fourth video in the series anytime soon (i.e. 'organizations that you can apply to')? Really looking forward to it! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback Giles. Glad you found them useful. I'll be posting the fourth video in this week sometime I think (its nearly ready). Hope you enjoy.

Thank you for useful information ! I'm graduating from school this year and I understand that I want to work in a field that would somehow combine medicine, math and ecinomics, so I figured that Public or Global Health will be a right choice. However, I'm still uncertain, whether to start right off with Bachelor in Public health or to take a different approach and start with Bachelor in Management and then do a MPH degree. I know that I'll certainly need some knowledge of management principles, but I have a feeling that in case of starting with management I'll miss a lot of crucial skills and knowledge that are taught during Bachelor in PH. What would you recommend ?
Thanks for the interesting question Nikita. So the short answer is that there isn't a simple answer but I'll give you what insights I can. There are two ways of looking at this. On the one hand, at an early stage in your career, the most important (and sometimes difficult) thing for you to do is to try and understand scope of public health (and so position yourself to gather the needed skills to add value). In that sense, doing the Bachelor in Public Health would be a great start. On the other hand, if you're doing to do an MPH anyway, getting the combination of management and public health as complimentary skill sets will make you very marketable once you start looking for a job. Its a tricky one. There are no wrong options here. The important thing is that you're passionate about whatever you study - enjoy it! Good luck (sorry about the vague answer).

Very informative Dr. Martin! I am in a process of applying to various global health programs. I have just come back from two years in Tanzania volunteering and learning about the developing countries health issues. I have a quick question to you.
Is there a big difference between Master of Public Health (MPH) and Master of Science in Global Health?
After doing research, I found different schools offer different programs... and I am a little lost here.....
Thank you!
Thanks for the question Minkyung. An MPH is Masters in Public Health and will focus mostly on the skills and competencies that you need to be effective within a national health program. Masters degrees that focus on "global health" usually dig a little deeper on issues that affect many countries (they often focus on developing countries). Each program will have its own strengths and emphasis. Good luck! And enjoy!! :)
Thank you Greg! I found this video really insightful.

I'm still only a Trauma and Heart Surgeon with Master and PhD in Surgery... But passionated for Public and Global Health. As Brazilian I dealt with serious problems working in a Public Medical School - Teaching Hospital for 14 years... I'm living in US for 10 years but I still didn't find a way of being really involved with the Public-Global Health in this country as I've always been in my country. You had been an inspiration and motivation. A mentorship! Thank you for supporting all of us... that like me, pursue to be part of "your world".
Marise - its great to know that there are people like you out there who are so passionate and enthusiastic about global health! I'm really glad that you're part of this community!!!

Hi Graig ! Could you share some of those free online videos you mentioned. Thanks
Very lovely video
+Francis Akum Thanks
ALL YOUR VIDEOS ARE SUPER EDUCATIONAL!! I'd like to know how much money could you gain by being a master in public health.
Thanks for the comment. Re the money that you can earn, it depends entirely on the kind of organisation that you land up working for. NGOs for example tend to pay less than UN agencies like the WHO. There is quite a range.

Hi I decide you change major from business to public health can you plz explain about public health
Hello Dr. Martin. I wanted you recommendation on a website/forum/org where I can get personalized career mentoring. I an MD, MPH and I worked on HIV prevention for two years half of which in Africa and a year in the states with EGPAF as a senior research officer. I toke two years off for personal reasons and now I want to go back to the field of PH, but I feel very overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Thank you in advance.
+Suzanne Sharif Great question - I suggest that you try: globalhealthmentor.wix.com/ghme
Thank you for recommending us! Highly appreciate it!
Hi I had a question. I am currently a US pharmacy student (finishing my first year) and I really, really would like to work for WHO when I graduate (I'll have a doctorate in Pharmacy when I finish and I already have a Bachelor's in Biochemistry). I was wondering if a MPH was absolutely necessary in order to become employed by WHO, or if it just looks nice on one's CV? Thank you.
+Li G Hi there - the MPH is not an absolute requirement but it does depend a little on what job you're applying for (some of the advertised jobs do stipulate having an MPH as a requirement). Many of the jobs require that you have a masters level education. The number of years of experience that you have in a given field is also important.
Hi Dr Greg, always a pleasure listening to you. Please be my mentor? Am a student with UCT, PGDip in Health Economics. Want to follow their MMed in PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE SPECIALIST PHYSICIAN TRAINING.
I am hoping you will agree. Thank you.
Nhlanhla Khumalo,
Hi Greg, Great video as always. Really clear and informative. A great resource to upskill across public health teams/departments. BTW any news on that Phil Collins comeback....?
haha - 😄 Phil Collins did a concert here in Dublin (where I live) quite recently - so you never know!... Thanks for the feedback re the video! Glad you liked. Feel free to send any suggestions re future content!

Such a great informative video Dr. Martin.
But still how can we relate public health to pharmacists?
Hi Mohamed - thanks for the question. There are many ways that pharmacists can get involved with public health. Access to medicines, is for example, an important part of public health and needs people with a pharmacy background to get involved.
Global Health with Greg Martin wonderful information Dr. Martin may i get your skype name to add you to discuss some extra topics?
I am thinking of doing a master's degree, only that I am undecided in whether to do a master's degree in public health or global health. I like the global health approach more, however I think a MPH will give me more skills to work in the field. What would be your advice?
Thanks for the question Octavio - its a common question and there is no simple answer. It depends a lot on what you want to do down the line. Also - remember, what you get out of a program (whatever it is) is up to you. I will say this though - if you do either master program, you'll land up gaining similar skills and a similar knowledge base (just in slightly different contexts)
Global Health with Greg Martin
is a masters degree required for public health??
Hi there - no a masters degree isn't an absolute requirement but it certainly helps a lot in terms of giving you a good sense of the scope of work being done in the global health space and providing you with the necessary skills. There are also a lot of jobs out there that do require that you have a masters degree in order to apply. That said, there are lots of people working in public health that come from different backgrounds and don't have a masters in public health. If you are able to, however, I would recommend it.

Hello I am about to graduate with a BS in Public health, would you recommend getting a Masters' in health administration or would an MBA be better? (also thank you for this amazing video)
Hi there - its an interesting question - and there isn't a simple answer sadly. I does depend a lot on what kind of work you'd like to do down the line. An MBA will serve you well in whatever field you land (but the value of it will be more important as you hit mid-career really). If you're wanting to work at an organisation like the WHO then an MPH (or equivalent) is usually a requirement.
Is MPH (2 year) and MPH: comparative effeciveness research (1 year) same or different ? What should i choose ? Please guide me
Thanks for your comment. Just so that you know, my CZcams channel now has a "membership" option specifically for people who are interested in finding work in public health. Here is the link: czcams.com/channels/ig0KhrB5NClMvX9QrbXcrw.htmljoin
sir thank you so much for that informative videos.
would it make a difference if one do master of science in international health instead of master in public health/
or what is the basic diff between the two?
+Sunny Santiago Muniz Tashi Tsering thanks for the question. A masters i public health is quite general and usually focusses on public health issue at a national level (some have a module on global health). An MSc in International health will focus on global health issues and is also likely to cover the basic public health science covered in an MPH. It all depends on what you're wanting to do after your studying.

hello sir .I just passed my 1O th class and I'm interested in public health .so what should I study to get in this field.which field should I choose
Hi there - thanks for the question Pramod. I'm delighted that you're interested in public health. As a starting point there are many fields that you could study (depending on your interests). Ultimately you should do a Masters in Public Health at some point but as a starting point you could study biology (if you're interested in infectious disease), maths (if you're interested in statistical analysis), politics (if you're interested in health policy), psychology (if you're interested in behaviour change to improve health) etc. etc. I suggest that you study something that you're interested in and you'll find the connections to public health.

What is the differece between PH and PH Administration and who have more market value ?
PH administration is more about ensuring that the administrative tasks that need to get done in order to make the system work are all done. I don't know much about it to be honest and so can't really comment on the market value.
Congratulations for your videos, very helpful for me.
I'd like to apply for a Master in Public Health, more specific I want to work in the epidemiologic sector of Public Health one day.
How many ECTS of Epidemiology's courses do you think a Master should have for allow a student to gain the skills to work as epidemiologist?
I mean, I've found a lot of master in PH and usually not more than 25 out of 120 credits are about research methodology, and I'm still trying to figure out if this kind of masters could be suitable for me, can you please tell me something about?
Thank you
+C4RLO5KY Thanks for the question. I must say, I don't know a lot about how credits for masters programmes work (so I can't answer your question directly). However, you could consider doing a Masters in Epidemiology and making that your area of focus from the get go. Of course with time you'll need to learn about other aspects of public health (but that's doable outside of a formal programme). Hope that helps.
+Global Health with Greg Martin thanks for your reply. I was exactly looking for that, unfortunately there are not many masters in Epidemiology in Europe and often not affordable, so do you think someone could work as epidemiologist after got a Master in PH even if it is not specificly focused on epidemiology/biostatistic?
+C4RLO5KY Absolutely! During your MPH programme, just take a special interest in the epidemiology and biostatistics side of things. Let your professors know that its an interest that you have. Many MPH programmes give you some flexibility with regard to the course work. In either event, once you have the MPH, you'll be able to shape your career and develop skills and gain experience in whatever direction you like. If you're into epidemiology, that's very doable! Good luck!
+Global Health with Greg Martin thank you very much for the suggestion. I hope you will keep doing this videos, they are a kind of inspiration for me as future Public Health worker.
What a great video! I am looking to getting a doctorate degree either a PhD or DrPH. For the long-term, I see myself working either as a technical adviser or Country Project Director focusing on infectious disease or monitoring and evaluation in Sub-Saharan Africa. Which degree would be more suitable for this role? Any feedback is greatly appreciated :)
Hi Tarikwa - thanks for the question. My feeling is that a DrPH would be the best next step for you. Doing a PhD is the right step if you're wanting to work as an academic. A DrPH would be a better fit for the kind of career that you described. Hope that helps. Greg
Thank you very much! :)
I want to do a MPH but I have a hard time deciding in which discipline. I am interested in all parts of publich health so how do I come down to one discipline? Or do we get exposure to all areas regardless of the discipline we choose?
Hi there - most MPH programmes will give you broad exposure all of the disciplines within Public Health. In fact, doing the MPH will help you in terms of deciding which disciplines suit you best. Good luck.
Thank you for your response!
What could I do to prepare myself before I start a MPH program?
Hi there - in preparation for your MPH, I suggest that you get a public health text book or perhaps something on epidemiology and do some reading (that will help you hit the ground running).
Dear Greg... Could you please advise what position can one with an MD in child health get in WHO or UNICEF? Also could you please suggest how to apply ?
The best way to understand what WHO and UNICEF are looking for is to download the Terms Of Reference for some of their existing job adverts and read through them carefully. You'll be able to find job adverts on their respective webpages.
Global Health with Greg Martin Thanks dear Greg . Could I ask you a very specific thing- Can one get any job related to clinical medicine (I’m a pediatrician) in un? Sorry if I bother you repeatedly as I know it’s the third time you are replying to my queries.
