Public Health Directors
What does a public health director do?
Public health directors are responsible for the complete management of public healthcare programs and organizations. Rather than work for private healthcare facilities, public health directors work on a state or country-wide level for local governments.
Public health directors organize, plan, direct, and manage programs to improve a population’s overall well-being. Ideal for those looking for a leadership role without the one-on-one patient care, public health directors develop budgets, review data, and consult with other public health professionals. Public health directors ensure that state and federal laws are being adhered to, report to the public health board of directors, design and monitor emergency response plans, and hold hearings on public health issues. Public health directors typically work in an office environment in a governmental building, sometimes traveling to conferences and public speaking engagements.
Who are public health directors?
Public health directors are organized and strong communicators. They must have their master’s degree in public health and their state license to practice medicine.
