JPHMP Direct Podcast Features "This is Public Health" Ambassador Noble Salwan
Saint Louis University 2019 Master of Public Health candidate Noble Salwan was interviewed by JPHMP in a Public Health Perspectives podcast.
The Journal of Public Health Management and Practice (JPHMP) presents Public Health Perspectives, a podcast series targeted towards strengthening the future public health workforce. It explores the narratives of public health care professionals and gains insight on career paths that shape the profession.
In this episode of Public Health Perspectives, Noble Salwan, an MPH student at Saint Louis University, talks about his passion for public health and how he was able to channel that passion into becoming an ambassador for This Is Public Health (TIPH).
According to the group’s website, “The This is Public Health (TIPH) campaign was created by the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) to brand public health and raise awareness of how public health affects individuals, families, communities, and populations. The simple statement – This Is Public Health – has proven to be a powerful tool in raising awareness about and support for public health efforts.”
Noble Salwan is currently pursuing a Master of Public Health degree with a concentration in behavioral science/health education and epidemiology. He has experience researching the transmission dynamics of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in pediatric patients and their families with the Washington University School of Medicine.
Additionally, he aids in conducting a women’s health store audit with Saint Louis University, collecting data for women’s health products across local stores in order to raise awareness of women’s health.
For a look at some of Noble’s experiences as an ambassador for This Is Public Health, check out his video on why he loves public health.
