    My Public Health Philosophy

    Taboos and stigmas surrounding sexual health still exist in communities around the
    world. In areas where this is still prevalent, the importance of how to protect yourself from
    sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unplanned pregnancy can still be an unspoken
    conversation, especially among youths. My future goal is to aid in educating women about how
    to protect themselves and others before, during, and after sexual activity so they are able to
    take charge of their physical and mental health. My interest to help teach individuals about
    sexual health and prevention began when I started working as a medical assistant in 2020. I had
    never worked in a medical office before and had very little hands-on experience, but I was
    excited to learn. Learning in a gynecology (GYN)/hormone therapy facility, I immediately began
    learning everything I needed and wanted to know about sexual health. The physicians were
    extremely patient and open to answering all my questions with no judgement and I saw first-
    hand how dedicated they are to their patients. Working with their female patients, I learned
    how viruses and infections can affect an individual’s life. In 12 months, my passion for this field
    has grown exponentially and I feel this could be my future career field. This dedicated me to the
    path to educate the public on physical sexual health in order for less women to be afflicted with
    the health issues that can arise from STDs.
    My passion for sexual health education extends beyond an individual level. I would like
    individuals to understand that in order to curb the rise of transmittable diseases, we have to
    take necessary precautions. Awareness of contraceptives, education on the value of safe sex
    practices, and availability to healthcare facilities aid in the promotion of changing the sexual
    behavior and ideas of individuals. Using the cognitive-based philosophy, getting individuals to
    change their behavior can be used by using facts and statistics regarding sexual health risks.
    This can include facts on how many people are diagnosed with STDs in the United States and
    how women can reduce their risk of transmission. If individuals are aware of how protection
    can reduce STDs and how the future of transmittable sexually diseases can be reduced, the
    possibility of a STD-free world could be within reach.
    Within the next two years I hope to be working with all types of women, helping to
    educate them on their sexual and/or reproductive health, or working towards my Master of
    Science in Health degree. I believe society would benefit from me working within the public
    health field by turning taboo conversations into open discussions. No one should feel shame or
    judgement about their sexual health or identity and I would like individuals that are able to seek
    help and treatment to have affordable access to it. Working in a sexual health positive job, I
    have become more understanding, compassionate, and eager to work with all individuals. My
    focus on women’s health, however, stems from an intimate understanding how these
    diagnoses can change lives, and I would like to be the individual who is able to change women’s
    lives in all communities for the better.
