Hello all, I'm a lurker here and did not actually apply for this year's PHAP as I haven't finished my undergrad degree yet (will be a senior this fall). However, I am considering applying to PHAP for the 2018 cycle and I am watching this thread to try and get some tips! I'm still not sure if it's better to get an MPH before applying to this program or to apply without one? (If this is the wrong place to ask this, would someone mind directing me where to go? I am a newbie to this forum.)
I hope you all wind up at the placements you want! I am crossing my fingers for you
I hear a lot that you don't even need to be in the field, as they are not training experts, but more with the passion and adaptability to do the work. Of course knowledge in the field is helpful (to the applicant when starting), but they want the education foundation to support the applicant's intelligence capacity.
There was even a past associate in the field of anthropology.
Now, it wouldn't hurt to have MPH, but apply even without it. I got this far without it.
