Episode Synopsis

In this chat, Omari Richins, MPH discusses the alarming proposed changes by the US Department of Education regarding the definition of professional degrees, which excludes public health degrees. This exclusion could significantly impact financial aid access for public health graduates, amidst a backdrop of increasing burnout and disillusionment within the field. He emphasizes the essential role of public health in society and encourages listeners to take action through advocacy and community engagement.🗣️ ASPPH Call to Action!Support the showThanks for tuning in.
