Peter Okputu

I am a biomedical scientist and a Master of Public Health graduate student at Morgan State University who has a keen interest in pursuing a career in Infectious Diseases prevention and control, public health administration, public policy, epidemiological studies, health promotion, human resources management, as well as public and health data analysis. I have medical and research knowledge acquired from medical school(six years) and seven years of clinical experience working with hospitals and nonprofit organizations in Nigeria. I want to pursue a career that allows me to assess public health indicators such as infant and maternal mortality rates, emerging infectious diseases, prevalence factors, and access to preventive services.
