(Sunil Aggarwal) Global health is basically the next logical step to studying public health
-
I really see global health as kind of a human right to health for everybody. That's the sub-text.
-
(Becky Bartlein) Most people can agree upon that health is a human right and that um, it's something that goes beyond politics.
-
(Sunil) I want to see more health professionals actually take an active role in recognizing that
-
those rights are essential for health of our patients and the public health.
-
(Laura Demaster) I always knew that I wanted to get more into research, asking the questions of why instead of
-
providing more diagnostic answers, and I was really impressed with the pathobiology program specifically
-
because it allowed me to ask those basic science questions within the context of public health and global health.
-
(Linnet Masese) Things that attracted me to where I was working was because they had that recognition
-
and having done my research and things and talking to people, you know, and knowing how well placed UW was
-
I knew I was in the right place.
-
(Sunil) I wanted to have a career in medicine and medical research and then the added thing I've come into is
-
advocacy for patients and public health
-
and it's great to know that this school also encourages people to do that.
-
(Linnet) Once I'm done I'm hoping that I can go back to Kenya and find a place where I can do HIV/AIDS research.
-
(Laura) There are very few programs in the country that offer that nice combination of
-
basic science and public health and Pathobiology was one of them.
-
I think that attracts a lot of our students - kind of the unique balance of those two factors.
-
You can do hypothesis-driven research and ask important questions about
-
mechanisms in biology but in the context of infectious diseases of great public health importance.
