MPH Scope

Hi, Scope After MPH - It is a dicey arena as of now. It's in very early stage of development. Career opportunities are plenty but they don't pay high salaries and work is never ending. Many MNCs NGO hire public health professionals for their CSR's and other project. So job opportunities are exponentially increasing. In early stages the salary may not be at par with other professionals but as you climb the ladder things become much more simpler. Now coming to SPPU placements - The Placements are overall good in other courses, but in Public Health area the results not very satisfactorily.

Hi Sanaullah, Currently, MPH graduates in India are employed in the public, private and nongovernmental sectors, in teaching, research and implementation roles. However, there are no well-defined career pathways, which is a significant barrier for MPH graduates who wish to work in the public health sector.

There is a wide career scope for MPH graduates. They can get very good jobs in Govt. as well as Pvt. sector hospitals, health organisations and NGOs. Also, organizations such as WHO, UN Children's Fund, The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, etc., hire such postgraduates.

Yes, if you wish to have a career in a non-clinical field and move abroad. MPH is a good option. Also, in case, you decide to go to the USA for your MPH and later want to practice dentistry, it'll be a great step for your admission to a college for DDS.I hope this helps you. Be free to share any problem you have. All the best for your bright future!

I think in abroad, it is possible. But opportunity wise better for Medical graduate.
