If you’re feeling discouraged about the current state of the public health workforce, this episode is for you!

Today we discuss some of the things that weigh heavily on the public health community and how we can be the change we want to see in this field. You’ll hear about the great public health workforce shortage, the need for increased funding, and other challenges we face, before we break down what you can do if you’re feeling discouraged.

You’ll hear about why you should revisit what brought you to public health to begin with, and other questions you can ask yourself to better understand your motivations for continuing to work in this field.

We contemplate whether or not it might actually be the right thing to walk away from public health altogether and then, for those who choose to stay, you’ll hear a list of things to do to reignite your passion for public health and help you to be the change you want to see in this field.
