What discipline do you prefer the most and you want to build your career in the upcoming days?

Along the side of the monetary consideration , Iwould like to shape my career in the upcoming days following the below deciplines-

Improving the Community – The overall health of the community will be impacted by the efforts, which is a key reason that so many choose careers.Improving the Nation – The nation’s population’s health is important as well and entering the public health field lets you have an impact on it as well.Improving Global Health – The health of the global population is another area that can impact, and I will be able to improve the health of the third world countries or the entire world.Personal Satisfaction – Simply put, knowing that I have had an impact on the health of others is something that fills most people with pride and a sense of personal satisfaction.Fight Disease – Depending on the position I take after graduation there’s a good chance I could be on the front lines in the battle against things like AIDS or cancer. I’ll make a difference where it matters, in other words.Help With Prevention – A big part of public health lies in preventative care. That means that I’ll be able to work on projects that will actually prevent the illnesses that impact so many people’s health.Help Children – The sense of pride one gains from helping children with their overall health and well-being is unmatched, and in the public health field you’ll be doing a huge amount of work towards helping youth.Boosting Environmental Health –  By identifying different health risks posed by the environment I can often help work to bring about change on multiple levels including medical and environmental. No other branch of the medical field can match this.

How do you understand 'Environment as a discipline of Public Health? As a core discipline of public health, environmental health is concerned with the delineation of environmental mental factors and their relationship to human health. These factors include air, food, water, radiation, toxic chemicals, wastes, disease vectors, safety hazards, and habitat. Environmental health is a key part of any comprehensive public health system. The field works to advance policies and programs to reduce chemical and other environmental exposures in air, water, soil and food to protect people and provide communities with healthier environments. Environmental Health is the branch of public health that focuses on the interrelationships between people and their environment, promotes human health and well-being, and fosters healthy and safe communities.
