Michigan Public Health Careers

Supporting You in Your Public Health Journey!

The University of Michigan School of Public Health Careers Office provides a supportive environment for public health students to gain confidence in understanding their career goals, sharing about their skills and interests, and making meaningful connections within the public health field. 

At the heart of our interactions is community building amongst students, alumni, employers, and career coaches. Through these connections, we aim to provide our future public health leaders with the resources, support, and networks they need to engage in the impactful work of improving health and furthering health equity for all people.
