Hi, I have a graduate certificate in PH (basically the courses before you enter into second year and internship). I'll give you some background so you know where I'm coming from :)-- I have a BS in Bio, minor in psych; I have a grad cert in PH; I am currently working as M.S., PA-C in Cardiothoracic Surgery. I love what the PH field has to offer. I think that it is a great way to bring a union between the public and health care. That said, PH is such a broad field- it will be what you make of it, to be frank. It is an up-and-coming career choice, so if you want success it will take a lot of work. Pick something that you are passionate about within PH. Until you know, it won't have much rewarding value.
