One project in which I was involved in the Philippines required me to assist in seeking to reduce the incidence of hypertension and diabetes in collaboration with Rural Health Units. We worked closely with health workers, rural health unit midwives, and nurses doing house-to-house visits taking glucose levels, BP monitoring, pre-natal check-ups, and general health exams. In addition, I brought my knowledge of neurovascular diseases to the communities and created a stroke signs and symptoms program to be implemented during my volunteer time and carried on after I departed. The dedication, commitment, and skills of the professionals involved were truly inspiring, and it was clear that real benefits were being achieved. It is this kind of direct involvement with needy communities that I seek.
My current employer awarded me with a promotion after a brief period, reflecting their confidence in my abilities and, most significantly, my commitment, professional competence, communication skills, and management potential. The role has enabled me to exercise and develop leadership skills vital for the kinds of initiatives to which I aspire, cultivating an ability to envision, plan, and organize. I seek to listen to and inspire others. Management education is always a work in progress, but I am keen to acquire and develop a wide range of leadership and management skills as far as possible.
I have happily worked, studied, and socialized with people of many cultural and social backgrounds. I understand that cultural awareness and sensitivity are vital in Public Health. I have had the opportunity to travel extensively. I studied in the UK for several months and have visited several other European and Asian countries. My professional experience includes working and collaborating with international team members on the facilitation and execution of physician training programs across the world. I am fascinated by cultural contrasts and enjoy exposure to other cultures to facilitate and execute. I am a native English speaker with a basic grasp of Spanish upon which I continue to build.
I am seeking a challenging but supportive academic environment and am. I am confident that the XXXX University Master of Public Health program will provide me with that. I see that the curriculum closely matches my areas of interest, and I am drawn by the unique online program combined with a prestigious faculty. I also note the successful alumni career outcomes, and I am confident that I will also be able to fulfill my potential because of completing your program.
I hold a relevant bachelor's degree and have a professional background in health education design and provision. I have volunteer experience in three contrasting countries and various projects; I have leadership/management experience and some, admittedly limited, experience in assisting in research. However, my main recommendation is a genuine passion for improving the health of rural and deprived communities. If selected, I can assure the reader that I shall apply myself with exceptional diligence and enthusiasm to the program.
Thank you for considering my application.
