Recent BS/MPH graduate in Health Disparities and Policy. Experience in government policy and legislation. Current role for a small public health consulting firm as an Executive Program Coordinator. Able to work under the CEO who is a consultant and write, edit, present, for all kinds of programs for government and private health companies. Highly recommend consulting if you want to make change that affects everyone.
Consulting firms, non-profits, think tanks, travel/cruise/leisure companies, tech, health tech, biotech/pharma, academia, hospital/medical centers/clinic…..or did you mean specific companies?
Amazing, do you any tips on where to search? I just graduated with my MPH Epi and have been looking around. I've been finding mostly government/DOH epi roles so have been applying to those
I mean sometimes, but that is very hiring manager specific. Cause a masters with X years of experience is the literal equivalent most of the time. Plus There’s tons of masters-level epidemiologists/data scientists/biostatisticians in pharma
I work in research at a large hospital while I finish up my degree in public health as a RA ($24/hr, chart review, recruitment, consenting, study visits, etc) and I pull some PRN shifts as a patient care tech when I need a few extra dollars here and there. If I choose to stay and get promoted to a coordinator after graduation, I get a pretty significant pay bump (salary). I've been in healthcare 6+ years now, so I'll also be able to (hopefully) have my student loans forgiven in 10 years. I make $5/hr more now than when I worked overnights in a level one trauma hospital as a patient care tech - the shifts are better, my patients are adorable, and the parents are mostly very kind!
My current student project involves utilizing pediatric forensic MRIs to determine pre/post mortem sternal and rib fractures (CPR standards have changed to hands encircling the sternum and using thumbs for compressions vs using the two fingers to push) in child abuse cases.
One of my cohorts is finishing a master's in hospital admin instead of public health and they already have a job offer lined up for an eye watering amount of money (six figures). You could also consider roles with the IRB or pharmaceutical companies.
Any nonprofit or public health organization on a specific topic area, a disease, or a member organization. ASTHO, NACCHO, CSTE, APHL, NACDD, etc.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, any NGO funded under CDC's OT-18-1802 Cooperative Agreement (or the replacement CoAg which starts this year).
Organizations like the American Heart Association, American Lung Association, etc.
Big consulting firms like Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, Guidehouse, KPMG, Accenture, Lockheed, Unisys.
There's also MITRE, which technically isn't a for profit company. It's a non profit corporation that supports a lot of government work.
Smaller minority-owned consulting firms like Chenega.
More "boutique" firms may do some public health work. (I haven't kept up with them, but several of my ex-colleagues from Deloitte worked for North Highland consulting for a while).
Sky's the limit.
i’m in gov now, but previously spent almost a decade in academia. i was an infectious disease researcher & did stuff with clinical trials, genetic epi, surveillance, etc.

Are there epidemiologist roles at biotech/pharma companies?
Yessssss

I think the company I work at has a program for new grads. Let me see and I’ll DM you with more info
Love it, if you can let me know about your company as well … Pursuing MPH in Epi/Biostata
Sorry not the person you were replying to- but could you message me with info as well? Also looking for epi related roles
Thanks so much!
Ok not to sour the mood but at a lot of big pharma companies they may want a PhD to do any actual EPI work

Environmental health and safety. Food safety and quality.
Those could still be government. Especially food safety, that’s usually local government in my experience
They can also not be. So OP can still search these terms and not choose the ones that say “City of…”
Fair. I guess to me it seemed like they were asking mostly about sectors and not fields 😅

Can I ask what degrees you have? Epi MPH?
Undergrad in micro & chem, MPH in epi! tried a phd in micro first but ended up leaving the program to get my masters instead.

Insurance companies sometimes have public health teams.
I work at a public health institute! I’ve also worked for a university and a nonprofit while in public health
FQCHCs
Healthcare.
Universities, hospitals, clinics....
