QUESTION:

After looking at the two degrees outlined in the module, which one would you choose to pursue AND why?

 

MHA vs MPA

I would choose MPA

An MPA curriculum highlights particular public health-related health issues, while an MHA degree focuses on the management of a health organization.

A noticeable difference between healthcare practitioners with an MPA is their emphasis on the form and quality of public care offered. Professions in public health are especially concerned with the prevention of infections and diseases.

Step-by-step explanation

MPA graduates have become community leaders who promote public health and safety awareness.

Job responsibilities can include the planning and execution of health programs, the conduct of research, the conduct of studies and the administration of health services. The MPA provides students with the opportunity to hold a range of positions, such as a specialist in clinical infectious diseases, a childbirth health instructor, a communicable disease researcher, a director of environmental health, and other positions that facilitate public health care and services.
