Following my graduation from the GSPH, I formed a personal vision for my professional career. I am part of the public health profession for one basic reason, to make a difference. However small that contribution might be, I work every day with my vision in focus. I want to challenge each of you to help me with my vision or create your own and go for it. Whatever it turns out to be, I know that we all will be working together to make our world a better place.
Public health is an exciting, dynamic, challenging, and very rewarding profession.
I think you made a great choice. So, congratulations, welcome and have fun. You certainly deserve it. And together I know we can make a difference. Janine Schooley is currently the Associate Director of Wellstart International in San Diego.
