The World Health Organization reports an estimated shortage of 7.2 million workers in this essential field, and that number is expected to grow to 12.5 million by 2035. Every year, Americans spend more than $2.5 trillion on healthcare related expenses, yet many challenges remain: disparities in health, fragmented and inefficient health delivery systems, increasing numbers of uninsured patients, and patient safety and medical errors.
"Our world is faced with many hardships and challenges, yet in the midst of them are opportunities for heroic virtue," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "Whether your passion is social work, research, management, or field work, public health has a niche for you."
College Choice developed its list by looking at traditional metrics of institutional excellence such as student-to-faculty ratio, incoming student test scores, and regional accreditation according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics and U.S. News & World Report. College Choice also incorporated data on return on investment, or the difference between tuition costs and expected early career salary, found on Payscale.
