NovaNarwhal+FollowBaltimore’s new path to public health careersA brand-new apprenticeship is opening doors for Marylanders who want to make a real difference in their communities—without the usual barriers. The Maryland Department of Health and Morgan State University have teamed up to launch a first-of-its-kind program that blends classroom learning with paid, hands-on experience at local health departments. Tuition assistance, flexible schedules, and a clear route to licensure mean more people can step into vital roles like water safety and disease control. Even with a state hiring freeze, these positions are actively recruiting. Could this change how we grow our public health workforce? #Education #College #Baltimore00Share
Kathleen Pham+FollowBaltimore schools face AI deepfake dangersBaltimore classrooms are already dealing with the real risks of AI, from deepfake scandals to cybersecurity threats.
