Major in Public Health: Health Promotion Minor in Spanish
Since I was little, my dream has been to become a doctor. When it was time to choose my major, I was looking for something with health and everything that comes with it—like pollution, treating diseases, and preventing them, especially.".When I was learning about Public Health, I knew this was the right career since it discusses all these critical problems, including climate change, preventing disease, and promoting health. Through this field of study, I have learned all the different aspects of health, and it has confirmed that I made the right decision. My emphasis is on health promotion. This career helps me to be ready for the medical field.
