热门专业 美国留学公共卫生专业MPH申请条件
公共卫生是热门学科,竞争非常激烈。GRE和IBT考试肯定是必不可少的,TOP20的公共卫生学院一般要求GRE1200以上,IBT100分以上(SPEAKING 20)。同时学院希望申请有一定的医学相关背景,尤其针对国际学生,如没有医学相关学位,申请者可以积极参与国内的公共卫生项目,如疾病的宣传教育课题,这样可一定程度上弥补背景的不足。在申请过程中,PS(PERSONAL STATEMENT)和CV显得尤为重要,学院希望申请人有对卫生保健事业的强烈兴趣和责任感,这往往从对自己未来的计划和对过去背景的总结介绍中得知。公共卫生的研究生阶段奖学金甚少,因为这也是当前全美国的热门学科,而排名靠前的公共卫院一年的学费和生活费大约在3万5到5万美金左右。PHD阶段奖学金会相对多一些,但是竞争也是比较残酷。
从我个人角度来说,公共卫生作为当前世界重要的议题,无论在中国和美国都具有相当好的发展前景,在最近北美经济走势不佳的情况下,仍然是非常热门和容易找工作的学科。有申请公共卫生专业志向的同学可以提早为自己的将来做详细的规划,准备好自己的申请。

美国公共卫生硕士MPH专业介绍
公共卫生专业也是美国留学的热门专业,虽然其申请难度很大,但等毕业以后可谓是前途无量,申请的人数也就居高不下。但是想找公共卫生硕士MPH的相关申请信息却来来去去就是那么几篇文章,下面和大家分享下申请MPH文书写作的技巧,个人陈述PS的写作技巧。
Sample PS_ MPH
Personal Statement
Academic Program: Epidemiology M.P.H.
“Get out of here and never come back!” Forcefully pushed out of the pub, I sat down against a nearby wall to scrub the dust off my shoes and regain my composure. My pride was wounded, not because of the way they treated me, but because they did not believe what I told them. It was the second time I had been forced out of this particular pub, a place for gay gathering. This is part of my research project “Health education model of preventing HIV/AIDS based on employer-employee relationships”, which I was working on. I believed that in order to effectively prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, employers, who are on the top of business pyramid, should be first in line to know the disease well, because they can leverage the sufficient resources necessary to exert great influence on the disease prevention within their enterprises. This approach fits the circumstances in China particularly well.
In face of this frustration, I didn’t give up trying. Before the start of the project, the local center for disease control and prevention had already counted the fifth reported case of AIDS virus infection, who later acknowledged that he had once provided sex service in that club or dated his homosexual partner. The devastating consequences if no intervention would be taken obliged me to try other means. Working as a team, three friends joined my endeavor and we handed out brochures outside the pub that introduced HIV/AIDS preventive measures with the elaborately-designed slogan “We understand you by showing our care to you!” Eventually, our persistence had been well paid off. Our respect of their personal choice melted the toughness of the owner of the club and he agreed to give a hand in sending the information to his employees and clients.
点评1:前两段基本上都在讲自己为了宣传防艾滋遇到的困难,没有涉及到太深的专业领域,不是十分单刀直入,语句不是十分非常简练。但是,传达了具体MPH 专业方向,这一点值得赞扬。很多申请者因为研究经历太多样化而不能确定明确的方向。而,这篇PS一开始就确定了目标,这一点非常好。
