"The health and medicine track at CUNY’s Graduate School of Journalism has taught me more about reporting than I could have expected. Every element, every tool that is required of a journalist is honed in this course; from digesting and interpreting documents, to digging up hard evidence for investigative reports, to interviewing patients and doctors for softer features. I have no doubt that studying health and medicine at CUNY has made me a much better journalist overall, regardless of where I ply my trade."

"The best thing about the Health/ Medicine concentration is that it is such a versatile specialty. Health reporting encompasses many subject areas--everything from politics and business to community reports. These courses have improved my critical thinking skills and made me more confident in my reporting ability."
- Megan Kelty, Class of 07

"Health is proving to be the most important issue of the 21st century. The Health/Medicine concentration has helped me understand how science, economics, politics, and social issues impact the health and well-being of people. I have learned to write better stories which help the public make more informed decisions about their health. As health care journalists, we are that bridge."
- Kenyon Farrow, Class of 07

"The first class in the Health/Medicine concentration taught me how to evaluate medical studies. It gave me a glimpse into the world of the pharmaceutical giants, and it taught me the various techniques of approaching health and medicine-related stories. I have a solid grounding necessary for this kind of reporting."
