A Doctor of Public Health focuses on teaching students the leadership and communication skills necessary to succeed in mid to senior levels of leadership within large health organizations. Students who hold a master's degree in public health and decide to enroll in a doctoral program will build on the principles of public health learned through the master's level and may go on to careers in epidemiology, environmental science, research, or high level management positions within the medical and health industries, which also require a business component. Public health professionals who hold a terminal degree in the field leverage high-level analytical skills in various settings, sometimes in government, sometimes within private institutions, and sometimes within academia. By building on the principles of public health knowledge gained through a master's degree, doctoral students studying public health will learn how to implement their knowledge into comprehensive public health programs, as well as how to properly manage current health organizations.
"These online doctoral programs in public health are especially ideal for professionals already working in the field," says Sam Mazany, editor at Nonprofit Colleges Online. He adds, "Real world experience is a vital component for any education, but this is particularly true within the field of public health. Fully online doctoral programs that allow working professionals to stay in the workplace while earning an advanced degree are an important resource. Nonprofit Colleges Online aims to help prospective students in this field know where to begin their search for a program that puts the student first and will help them achieve their goals."
