This 1:1 call is for students, recent graduates, and early to mid-career professionals ready to build a meaningful career in Public Health—with a focus on India and LMIC settings. Drawing on experience as a Senior Program Officer at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, working on oxygen systems, essential medicines, and TB operations, plus prior roles in grants, AI in healthcare, WASH, and primary healthcare, these sessions go beyond generic advice to explore real-world pathways, skills, and trade-offs.

During our call, we can cover:

  • Whether an MPH (or further studies) is right for you, how to choose programs, and how to maximize your experience
  • Career pathways in TB, infectious diseases, digital health/AI, health systems, and development sector roles (NGOs, consulting, multilateral agencies, CSR, and start-ups)
  • How to transition from clinical backgrounds (including dentistry) into public health, policy, and program management
  • Building your profile for grants, fellowships, research, and global health opportunities—leveraging writing, research experience, and strategic networking

By the end of our session, you'll have:

  • Clear direction on where you fit in the public health ecosystem and which roles align with your skills and interests
  • Specific next steps for the next 6–18 months (skills to build, roles to target, and how to position your CV/LinkedIn)
  • Practical insight into day-to-day public health work—from field monitoring and stakeholder management to operations and strategy

This is a candid, no-jargon space to ask the questions you can't raise in classrooms or webinars. Whether you're exploring public health or planning a focused transition, let's map out your next move together.
