[Entertainment] [Vietnam Public Health] How to judge a public health graduate?
At the end of a master course, you are happy that, finally, you've got the degree.
How do you know how much have you learnt?
Some friends told me they forgot almost everything. It's funny, but true.
It is sensible to think right the way of a reviewing plan. The plan should base on knowledge and skills that a graduate in public health should have acquired. As you have spent many months to study public health, it should be fairly easy to review all the stuffs. Think about spending the summer right after the course for reviewing purpose. Don't relax too soon, and you will be well paid off.
Each program has their own 'point of view' to judge a public health graduate. Look at your own program to build your review criteria.
Here is the view from the Masters of Public Health at University of Essex:
A. Knowledge and Understanding
A1 : Advanced understanding of key concepts related to public health protection and promotion
A2 : Knowledge of how to monitor and control the populations' health
A3 : Knowledge of the relationships between relevant academic theories and practice of public health
A4 : Knowledge of how to critically appraise the public health evidence base and practice
A5 : Advanced understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methods
A6 : Understanding of how to conduct original research including relevant ethical and legal issues
A7 : How to reflect upon ones own professional practice
B. Intellectual / cognitive skills
B1 : Systematically gather and critically review evidence
B2 : Translate research evidence into practical activities in treatment and service management (evidence-based practice)
B3 : Interpret and implement relevant policy statements
B4 : Plan, undertake and report an independent research project to a high professional and ethical standard
B5 : Write well-structured and well-argued essays
C. Practical skills
C1 : Perform advanced and systematic search for information relevant to specific topics
C2 : Produce a research proposal to a professional standard and submit an application to an ethics committee
C3 : Carry out, with supervision, health research to a high professional standard
C4 : Process and analyse data using a software package (e.g. SPSS or WinMAX)
C5 : Plan and present their work in an appropriate manner
D. Key skills
D1 : Able to write clearly and effectively; able to communicate effectively verbally in a group; able to summarise and communicate complex findings to others; able to communicate with professional and lay audiences appropriately
D2 : Use of Internet; use of word processing packages; use of spreadsheets and statistics packages; use of presentation packages; use of data analysis software
D3 : Ability to read and interpret tables of data and statistics; ability to use statistics to analyse data; familiarity with packages for handling and analysing data
D4 : Able to choose the appropriate method of enquiry in order to address a range of practical and theoretical problems. This includes review and use of appropriate past literature, consulting appropriate experts, or designing an appropriate piece of research work.
D5 : Able to work in a team with others to agree and work towards goals; able to work successfully with other disciplines; able to practice reflectively and facilitate this in others
D6 : Able to learn from feedback and respond appropriately and effectively to supervision and guidance; able to work pragmatically to meet deadlines; able to critically evaluate own performance and to practice reflectively
If you answers are 'yes' to all of the above issues, you are really really ready to take a well-paid position. Many employers would like to 'buy' you with a good price.
Well, you don't need to be 'yes' to all the issues, but consider either review or practice the perceived 'weak' knowledge/skills in order to get better job.

[Entertainment] [Vietnam Public Health] Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards, ...
Session 2008/09
What are the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards?
The Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards are a national initiative to bring outstanding students from Brazil, China, India, Hong Kong, Russia, South Africa and the developing world to the UK to study for PhD degrees in top-rated research environments. The Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards are open to top-quality science, engineering, medicine, social sciences and technology students. More information on the background to the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate awards has been made available by the Research Councils on: http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/hodgkin/ Further details about the application criteria for the University of Leeds and the possible areas of study at Leeds are detailed below.
The Awards are jointly funded by the UK Research Councils and industrial partners. For those starting in Session 2008/09, the scheme will pay overseas rate fees and a maintenance stipend for a maximum period of 3 years (£12,940 a year for Session 2008/09). Funding beyond the first 12 months is subject to continued satisfactory progress.
To be eligible, you must hold a very good first degree (the equivalent of a UK first class honours degree*) from a prestigious institution. You must also meet the University's English language requirements which are IELTS band score 6.0 (with not less than 5.5 in listening and reading and not less than 5.0 in speaking and writing) or paper based TOEFL 550 (with 4.0 on the Test of Written English TWE) or computer based TOEFL 220 (with an essay rating of 4.0) or internet based TOEFL iBT 83 (with not less than 18 in listening, not less than 20 in reading and speaking and not less than 21 in writing). The requirements may be higher in some disciplines. For some subjects, you may also need the equivalent of a UK Master's degree in a relevant subject.
* Please note that a lower-rated first degree together with the subsequent acquisition of a masters level degree will not normally be accepted at the equivalent of a UK first class honours degree.
The Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards are intended to support new PhD students, and the majority of students applying for DHPA funding are expected not to have started their PhD studies. However, it is recognised that some students may have commenced their PhD studies with the intention of applying for Scholarships and funding for the start of the following session. Applicants who have already commenced PhD studies are eligible to apply for an award under the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award Scheme provided that they did not commence PhD study before 1 October 2007.
The closing date for the following awards is 30 April 2008.
One award is provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (www.epsrc.ac.uk) and Jaguar and is available in the Institute for Transport Studies in the broad area of 'driver distraction/vehicle automation/human-machine interface'.
One award is provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (www.epsrc.ac.uk) and Morganite Electrical Carbon Limited and is available in the School of Process, Environmental & Materials Engineering (Institute for Materials Research) in the broad area of 'carbon nanomaterials for achievement of high conductivity thermal interfacing'.
One award is provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (www.epsrc.ac.uk) and GlaxoSmithKline and is available in the Department of Colour Science in the broad area of 'preparation, characterisation and delivery of internasal pharmaceutical products designed for high throughput assembly'.
One award is provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (www.epsrc.ac.uk) and Shell Global Solutions (UK) and is available in the School of Mechanical Engineering in the broad area of 'factors affecting combustion of sustainable engine fuels'.
One award is provided by the Medical Research Council (www.mrc.ac.uk) and Heart Research UK and is available in the School of Mechanical Engineering in the broad area of 'developing a novel real time computational model of heart failure to be used to test heart assist devices'.
One award is provided by the Economic and Social Research Council (www.esrc.ac.uk) and 1Spatial and is available in the Leeds University Business School in the broad area of 'interoperability and information sharing during major incidents: planning for the London Olympics'.
The Scheme is not open to UK or EU students or those eligible to pay UK rated fees. Only students from certain countries are eligible to apply. A full list of all the eligible countries is available on the Office of Science and Technology website at http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/35/9/2488552.pdf - please check this list to see if you are eligible.
