Lisa Wehr's Public Health Blog

Lisa is originally from Sigourney, Iowa. She attended Iowa State University and received her bachelor’s degree in Music in 2010. She is currently a first year Master’s of Public Health (MPH) student in community and behavioral health (CBH). Lisa works on the medicine-psychiatry unit at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC). Through this blog Lisa hopes to let people learn about the CBH department.

Careers in Public Health

This topic has it’s own page because I believe it is useful not only for current and prospective students, but for anyone who comes upon this blog with the ultimate question of “what is public health?” and “what do people with a public health degree do?”

I would also highly suggest checking out my "News" post, which provides a lengthy list of the public health tweeters I follow to keep up to date on careers and research and what not.
