Public health professionals are often called to do the work that they do. They are dedicated to protecting and improving the health of communities. They are often driven by passion and fueled by a desire to make a tangible difference in people's lives. But who are they?
In the U.S., the public health workforce is aligned somewhat closely to the U.S. population in terms of diversity, but a major difference is the representation of women. Women make up the majority of the U.S. public health workforce (79%). From 2005 to 2016, 70-73% of all public health degrees in the U.S. were awarded to women.
