In this episode, I share my journey and transition from healthcare to public health and the lessons that I learned along the way.  My background is in medical laboratory technology, specifically microbiology.  People often ask me about how I transitioned into the field of public health, and how I became and epidemiologist.  In sharing my story, I also prepare you for what will follow in the next few episodes.  This and the next few episodes are part of a series of trainings that many students and recent graduates will find very helpful.  I encourage you to listen to the full episode, and tune in for the full series.
