✅If you're looking for honest talk about what it's like to work in #publichealth, then you've come to the right place. ❌If you want sugar-coating and ego massage, then you've come to the wrong place. I tell it like it is, without any of the BS. phworkforceok.substack.com

Thanks for the tips. I am still into geopolitics
So now to the next on my reading list - I also tell my students they should read history so I’m setting an example with latest from @simon_schama
What does it mean to say the pandemic is over? An infectious disease epidemiologist and public health informatics specialist offers reflections on the end of the #publichealth emergency and what it means as we move forward. @skibird613 jphmpdirect.com/2023/05/17/sun…
Love this analogy @skibird613. Great reflections and I 100% agree. jphmpdirect.com/2023/05/17/sun…
#FearlessFriday “To fix the many challenges of working in #publichealth, we must talk about them openly and honestly.” Read @skibird613, Emily W. Lankau, Jennifer Todd, @rbarishansky, Gregory P. Nichols, and April Moreno Arellano in @Health_Affairs: healthaffairs.org/content/forefr…
Honored to be a part of this group of concerned #publichealth professionals advocating for the future of the public health #workforce in this time of turmoil. @Health_Affairs healthaffairs.org/content/forefr…
There are many sectors, including #publichealth, that are losing staff. But its the public's reaction that different. We need to address staffing shortages in several key professions but cannot afford to ignore the LONG STANDING staffing shortages in public health.
Many politicians really need to learn this and remove the requirement of MDs for many high level public health positions. If they don't, we will continue to fail in protecting the public's health.
First and foremost, help raise the #value proposition of true #health & #prevention and that it must be invested in 💫💫 #PublicHealth
Thank you @BrianCCastrucci @TCBPubHealth @DrJudyMonroe @ushahmd for speaking out. How can we, the frontline workforce, support you? SO MANY OF US are underemployed, so available and motivated and skilled to use our voices to support this communication. nytimes.com/2023/02/13/us/…
*to get and keep* We are in demand until we are not
🩹 ICYMI: “But it must be really easy to get a public health job during a pandemic!” How many times have you heard this refrain? #publichealth #epitwitter 1/3
"There is no value in providing a funding stream that does not translate into people hired, projects launched, and lives saved. Getting more from our nation's public health agencies requires equipping them for success." @Health_Affairs #publichealth healthaffairs.org/content/forefr…
@robsheppe @ThatEricAlper I agree with you. A-ha have so many great songs.
A strong, effective, and reliable CDC is crucial to a healthier society. An important new @CSIS report offers recommendations to strengthen CDC so the agency can better protect people in the US and around the world. bit.ly/3WPE6Qx
pretty crazy we haven't learned from the very very very recent past and are not trying to keep a larger standing public health workforce in action all the time.
Layoffs have been rife in the public health sector and more are likely to come with the ending of the #Covid public health emergency. They don't get the sympathy and severance packages offered to departing tech industry workers, @skibird613 writes. statnews.com/2023/02/03/pub…
