It covers a myraid of different things.  I have several friends who educational backgroud is health education.  They all work at the health dept now.   That degree lends itself to many different career opportunities.  My friends do a bit of PR for things like prostrate health, breast cancer, etc...  They do public speaking in the community about health concerns.\nThey also head clubs at our local high schools to discourage smoking.    Its almost like doing PR for Healthy living.

Health in the hands of the people, it is people empowerment through health education. Health education is used to modify a patient's health beliefs in order to change and undesirable practices. Patient teaching is used to ensure safe transfer of health responsibilities from the health care worker to the patient. Patient care from start of consultation, admission to discharge

Depends on your life goals...\n\nIf you are thinking university, choose 'real' subjects, i.e. maths, english, biology, languages. Don't worry about trying to specialise in new/abnormal A-level topics that you think may be related to your course, ie psychology a-level if you are thinking psychology degree: they simply aren't necessary! On the other hand, make sure that if you think you want to do medicine you take science a-levels, and if you are thinking English degree, take English lit, etc.\n\nIf you do have some idea of what degree you want, look in a uni prospectus to see what a-levels are required.\n\nIf you are looking for knowledge related to the real world, again it depends on what you want to do, but management a-levels are always good if they are available. Also, English a-levels help you to be evaluative and critical (as does history), while biology/chem, etc help your analytical and systematic skills...\n\nI hope that helps! I took english, history, maths, and french, and am now just completing a psych degree. I think my choices were perfect.. :-)

You will have to meet the qualifications and fill out the required forms with a University that offers the degree you are interested in.\n\nJust do a google search for "Master's degree plublic health" and I think you can find some answers.

You could go for a public health degree (I know there are ones at the Master's level for this...and probably some related ones for undergraduate degrees), or a degree in International Relations. It also sounds like you are interested in agricultural work, so a degree in Agriculture or Food Science might be appropriate.

I agree. Its not about education. You can be book smart but not street smart. You may be street smart but bot health smart. It's all about the individual. I personally think that this is a stupid question!

Yes...any career in the health field is good.  But remember it is a lot of hard work and studying and you must be a patient, happy person.  Go to your local hospital, see if you can volunteer or shadow some people in the field.

Physical Education is one of the only subjects in which students are taught in all three domains of learning:  kinesthetic, affective, and cognitive.  Also, students learn about health and fitness, which are subjects that students can actually apply to the real world.  Of course, only quality Physical Education programs accomplish this.

The best answer to give is the truth. Medicine (and in the UK thats different from health science) is such a demanding course and so long and intensive that if you were to give dishonest answers to get urslef onto the course and one aspect of you that you had not revealed at interview were not able to deal with one aspect of the course it would be failing yourself and society as a whole. \n\nExpect to be asked questions like "why do you want to be a doctor", "what are the three most important qualities in a doctor", "what do you think medicine will be like in the future", "how do you deal with Stress and hard work", "what do you like to do to relax", "how would you suggest the implication of public health policy X is carried out" like I got asked about how to get people to eat more fruit and veg, any sporting hobbies or interests that ou have told them of in the application form is fair game. \n\nThese are all question that I was asked in my interviews for med school. Each interview is different depending on the candidate and the interviewers. Just be yourself and go witht he flow. When asked what I liked to do to relax I actually told them I liked to go to the pub for a large gin and tonic. I'm now in fourth year of the med school course at that very university.

Public health covers a lot of territory. This includes things like large-scale epidemics and bioterror threats, vaccination campaigns, safety-net health care providers, restaurant inspections and so forth.\n\nThere is public health dentistry. Their focus is to improve the health of the people through ensuring that people have healthy teeth. \n\nWhat's the big deal with teeth? Well, having a healthy mouth is not only pleasing to the eye (in the way of a nice smile), it can also prevent heart disease (infections that cause endocarditis). Unhealthy teeth hurt, and that can lead to losses in productivity and school absences. Unhealthy teeth can result in malnutrition (if you can't eat because your teeth hurt). Public health dentists provide a valuable service by offering clinics to the indigent (who would otherwise never see a dentist). Regular checkups reduce the incidence of oral cancer, too. that's definitely good for the public's health.\n\nI hope that covers it.
