Josephus Kilikpo MPH, Epidemiology, Cuttington University Graduate School Educating future generations of the possibilities within the field of public health. The field of public health is so diverse, which can be confusing for students and young professionals who are looking to explore it. Highlighting career paths and opportunities for involvement and development would open many doors and possibilities for the next generation of public health professionals. The biggest challenge that the public health field should be focusing on is infectious disease prevention. This includes focusing on vaccination and antimicrobial stewardship, while understanding disease transmission and proper infection prevention measures. Additionally, this will help with preventing outbreaks of potentially devastating diseases and limit morbidity and mortality related to outbreaks if they do occur
