62. The SG is the leading public health professional in the country.

Keep in mind, PH is NOT medicine. Public health is about prevention. Public health is about improving health at the population level, not treating acute illness at the individual level (i.e., clinical medicine). Many MDs have training in public health and have an appreciation for the role of public health in this country. Many do not, however. My question about Sanjay is does he even understand what PH is all about?

I'm a public health faculty member, btw.
