Story overview
Never having previously wanted to start a PhD, but having enjoyed my masters and very much maintained my enthusiasm for the subject whilst at Cardiff, I have now left my post to pursue a PhD in Medical Anthropology. After three years experience of working in Public Health research I feel that I have gained many skills and much experience that will assist me in this or in future roles having written and contributed to reports and peer-reviewed publications, presented findings to a range of audiences and managed the day-to-day running of projects from start to finish. I'd like to combine my new knowledge and experience in the field of public health with my anthropological interests in preventative medicine, health beliefs and other socio-cultural beliefs in undertaking my doctorate, again hoping that my anthropological perspective can usefully be applied.
