What Public Health Graduates Are Saying
“I chose DMU because I love that I'm able to have one on one conversations whenever I feel the need to with my advisor. The professors are very approachable and respond to emails in a timely manner. In October 2020 to March 2021 I worked as a contact tracer for COVID-19 at Shelby County Public Health in Harlan, IA while I was working for the Women, Infant, and Child Program as a Nutrition Educator and Certified Lactation Specialist. Now I work in STD/HIV investigations and work with clinics and hospitals to verify treatment and complete interviews with patients. Many things we discuss and do at work has come up in my coursework at DMU.”
