PHEC 441: Making Public Health Plain, With Emily Edgar And Nicole Vick, EdD, MPH

PHEC 441: Making Public Health Plain, With Emily Edgar And Nicole Vick, EdD, MPH

Why is it still so hard to answer the simple question: "What is public health?" In this timely episode, Dr. Huntley is joined by two voices from different generations of the field to unpack why public health remains misunderstood and why that confusion has real consequences as budgets shrink and systems are dismantled.

Emily Edgar, an MPH student in epidemiology, and Dr. Nicole D. Vick, a seasoned public health strategist and workforce advocate, offer grounded, human-centered explanations of public health rooted in collaboration, community, and equity. From One Health examples connecting human, animal, and environmental wellbeing to honest conversations about burnout, bias, and historical harm, this episode moves beyond textbook definitions into language people can actually understand.

This conversation is a masterclass in explaining public health through stories that resonate why it matters, who it serves, and what's at stake if we can't clearly articulate our value. If you've ever stumbled trying to explain your work to family, funders, or policymakers, this episode is for you.
