MScGH < MPH:
My first week of naturopathic medical school in Portland, OR went great! Aside from the fact that I had to reconsider my educational game plan. Why? I came to the realization (with the help of some NUNM global health faculty) that my background in public health can be supplemented in different ways than I had previously thought. The Master of Global Health would not add be as advantageous as the Master of Public Health training I already undergone. However, by taking certain electives through NUNM I can expand my MPH training. This was encouraging still, because it seemed that I was still on track to doing the things I love.
SOoOOo.. what's up?
For this quarter I will be taking two classes.. yes, just two. Somatic Re-education and bodywork I. I have decided that I would like to learn about massage and acquire an LMT to be able to incorporate that into my practice one day. I have for a while loved to work hands on with people. I feel that massage will be fun and an exciting way to connect with the special individuals I will come across in my journey of health promotion through one on one meetings.
I also am looking for a job. I would like a job that would help me gain experience in the field of public health, preferably in environmental and occupational health OR in the field of naturopathic medicine.
