Dear Kate,
I am a recent biochemistry graduate from college. I am highly interested in global health and really want to make a high impact in it, especially in health systems strengthening. I have heard and seen that most people that advance to decision making roles have an M.D, however it seems that medical school is not my highest passion at the moment. Would you say it is a worthwhile investment to understanding health care and thus making a greater impact in global health? Or is there another route? Thank you!
Sincerely,
CNN
