Victor Gallegos Rejas
Master in Public Health
I realised that administering medicine was not nearly enough to solve the major problems surrounding me in the community. I needed to address wider contextual factors. Truthfully, the reason I first enrolled for a Master of Public Health at UQ was because I was looking for a great program of world-class standard. UQ led me to Australia, not the other way around.
