A Dream Realized

In many parts of the world, the ability to improve your health and the access to healthcare is not a right nor is it even a privilege. It is a dream. It is something that you can only fantasize about. You wish to live longer than your father, who didn't live longer than his own. You wish to have a career that will enable you to earn a decent living, to drink clean water and eat nourishing food, to better your world and to raise children who will do the same. I come from one such part of the world. I am from Uganda, a small country in East Africa, which during my lifetime and long before, has suffered a great deal of hardships. Having seen and experienced this way of life firsthand, I know that my role in public health will not only provide me with a better life, but will enable me to better my communities (both native and adopted) and by extension, my world.

An MPH is a key piece of the puzzle in achieving my long-term goals, which are to serve society. I am fortunate enough to have a strong background in business, having received an MBA degree. I'd like to meld this business knowledge with research in public health to investigate health policy, education, and communication. I believe that my experience and past education will also be an asset to your program. MBA degrees require a great deal of teamwork, something that most hospitals and other direct service organizations appreciate. I have had to work out real world problems and case studies with my team and come up with recommendations according to the situation.

My most prized ability is my capacity for leadership. I think, in the next twenty years, leadership will be the most crucial asset to existing health organizations in propelling them to more modern and effective methods of operation. To me, leadership is defined by innovative thinking, willingness to listen to and synthesize the ideas of employees, and compassionate regard for the people being served. I think an MPH will allow me to channel my natural enthusiasm for management while also giving me the solid subject knowledge to enable me to achieve great feats in the healthcare field.
