I sat in on more Monkeypox and COVID-19 briefing calls. I also learned about the different diseases that the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Public Health Division, interact with on a daily basis. Although COVID-19, and now Monkeypox, are all the news talks about, there are numerous other problems and diseases facing the NC DHHS and the larger community every day. I also talked with a few people who explained the different career paths one can pursue to join the Division of Public Health.
