What kinds of employment opportunities are there for PHG graduates?
In general, our graduates pursue careers in public health agencies and at colleges and universities. Please see our annual report for a tabulation of graduates. We have graduates who have continued on to law school, to medical school, to genetic counseling programs, and who have been admitted to our PhD program. Several of our graduates have accepted fellowships at the CDC. Others have continued doing research here at the University of Washington and at other universities. We also have graduates who now work for the Washington State Department of Health.
