Health studies are concerned with the development of knowledge and programs related to health and well being. This field contains many majors. Some majors focus on identifying practices that directly improve patient health. Others focus on the physical activity, biological, behavioral and sociocultural mechanisms and processes that affect health status and aging. Health studies are also concerned with the study of leisure and cultural phenomena within their related environments and in the context of opportunities and practices integral to the well being of groups and individuals. A health major prepares students for work in schools, businesses, medical care settings, and the community as health educators. A degree in the health field equips students with a variety of educational tools and techniques to use in their health professions by emphasizing both health behavior theories and practical application through educational programming and voluntary service in the field. If you want to concentrate on a particular field there are many specialized studies, such as Radiologic Technology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy or Dietetics, but the two main majors related to health are Nursing and Medicine.
Approximately 25% of people live below the poverty line in Myanmar. Many live in unsanitary conditions where diseases spread rapidly and there is a very small health infrastructure. The number of physicians and nurses per 1,000 people is less than one, compared to the US or UK where the number is 11-14—this means that each Myanmar physician or nurse needs to care for 11-14 times the number of patients as their counterpart in the US or UK. Also, there is a very high degree of risk for food or waterborne diseases including bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever and vectorborne diseases including dengue fever and malaria are high risks in some locations. The World Health Organization states that the government spends only 2.2% of its expenditure on health (2004) and 7% of the population has advanced HIV infection and is receiving antiretroviral medication (2006). Couple this with pandemics such as HIV/AIDS and Myanmar is a health catastrophy waiting to happen.
Not surprisingly there is a great need for any health professionals across the country. There is more demand in rural areas where access to health service remains significantly lower than in cities. Health graduates can expect to work in hospitals and clinics or to establish their own practices. Additionally, there is a great need for health education across the country in areas as sanitation, reproduction, and disease prevention.

Though rehabilitation following injury is the primary focus of many physical therapists, Board-certified specialization is available in a number of areas including sports-related physical therapy, orthopedics, and pediatrics.
Physiology is the study of life, specifically, how cells, tissues, and organisms function. Physiologists are constantly trying to answer key questions in areas ranging from the functions of single cells to the interactions between human populations and our environment. To answer these questions, physiologists work in laboratories, in libraries, in the field, and in space. Physiologists may study how the body adapts to temperature and environmental extremes encountered on earth, or the zero gravity encountered in space flights, to learn how life processes cope with these environmental stresses. Physiologists conduct their investigations at various levels of biological organization, including: the molecular biology of cell components, single or groups of cells under culture, individual organs in isolation and the whole animal or human. Physiology is important because it is the foundation upon which we build our knowledge of what “life” is, how to treat disease, and how to cope with stresses imposed upon our bodies by new environments. Physiological studies of normal biological function provide the basis for understanding the abnormal function seen in animal and human disease (pathophysiology) and for developing new methods for treating those diseases (translational research). Many physiologists place great importance on the use of animal models as an important tool in their research. The study of physiological processes can encompass a wide array of other disciplines, such as neurophysiology, pharmacology, cell biology, and biochemistry, to name just a few.
Public Health is the study of how health issues affect populations, and the development of methods to improve the general well-being of the public at large. Public Health majors study the science and the politics behind Public Health policies.
