This text serves as an introduction for undergraduate students to the field of public health, describing the public health system in the US as well as careers in the field. Turnock (community health sciences, U. of Illinois at Chicago) uses a systems approach to public health, viewing it as a model characterized by its missions, functions, capacities, processes, and outcomes. Careers--with discussion of specific positions in administration, environmental and occupational health, nursing, epidemiology and disease control, education, and other subfields--are detailed in terms of job duties, skills, qualifications, salaries, career paths, and professional networks.
