"As a clinician, it was important for me to know how public health fit into clinical medicine and the role the clinicians can play in public health. At UNC, I learned much more about what health is – for individuals and communities. Having the broader view has been important in working in the field of injury prevention. Additionally, at the
UNC
School of Public Health, I learned skills that I use daily in my professional work."
