JOHN PIISPANEN

Director of Environmental Health Tropical Public Health Unit, Queensland Health Department, Townsville.

The Master of Public Health offered a wide range of subjects from which to choose. The opportunity to study with students from around Australia and many regions of the world with a broad range of experience further enhanced the curriculum. The networks and relationships I formed throughout the course will continue on at both personal and professional levels. The opportunity to progress to a Doctor of Public Health in the future is also appealing.
