HLTH Class 2008

"Oh the directions they go!" Read about the career plans of our Health Studies students as submitted by them at the time of their graduation.

Note: In 2008-09, four HLTH graduates from Spring 2008 returned to Queen's as follows: one student entered a MA in Kinesiology & Studies; one student entered a Masters in Public Administration; one student entered a Masters of Urban and Regional Planning; and, one student returned to pursue post-degree course work.

I am commencing in Spring 2008 with a BA(H) Health Studies/ BSc Life Science degree. This summer I am working at the Mclaughlin-Rotman Centre for Global Health at the MaRS Institute in Toronto and next year I will be in Japan teaching English with the JET program. Afterwards I intend to complete either an MPA with a concentration on European Studies or an MA in International Relations.

Over the next 3 years I will be kayaking and backpacking in South America, and then teaching English in South Korea, and hopefully doing a CIDA internship in Africa working with HIV/AIDS education and prevention. I plan on getting some more volunteer experience before going back to do a Master's in Public Health, or perhaps my Master's in Business Administration.

A.C. - BAH MAJ HLTH

After classes finished, I began working at EDS Canada processing health insurance claim forms. Overworked, underpaid, and very bored, I realised just how much I love learning and university life. I made a last minute application to grad school, and the day after graduation I found out that I was accepted into a Masters of Public Health programme at Imperial College, London, England.
K.S.H. - BAH MAJ HLTH

I am currently working with the International Tobacco Control Policy Evauation Project at the University of Waterloo for the summer as a research assistant. In the fall I will be returning to Queen's to start a Master of Urban and Regional Planning with which I hope work to make the environment in which we live conducive to health and physical activity.
K.L.P. - BAH MAJ HLTH

I am currently working with the ThinkFirst Kingston Chapter educating youth in Kingston about brain and spinal cord injury prevention. In the fall, I will be returning to Queen's to complete a one year Master's of Public Administration with a concentration in Health Policy. In the future I hope to continue on with a career in Health Policy.
