Public Health Entrepreneurs

Overview

Are you rethinking your career path after the shifts in public health infrastructure during 2025? In this episode of Public Health Entrepreneurs, Dr. Charlotte Huntley tackles the most frequently asked question since the show began: What exactly is a public health consultant? Whether you are an expert in policy, epidemiology, or community engagement, this episode breaks down how consulting offers resilience and control in an uncertain job market. Tune in to discover why organizations are desperate for your expertise right now and how you can build a business strategy that creates healthier communities.





Takeaways


  • Defining the Role: A public health consultant is a problem solver and subject matter expert who works with clients on a contract basis to meet specific needs.

  • No One Size Fits All: Your consulting niche can range from research and data analysis to emergency preparedness and communications. Your business can look completely different from others and still be highly successful.

  • The Entrepreneurial Shift: Consulting is a form of entrepreneurship that provides career resilience, allowing you to create multiple streams of income rather than relying on a single employer.

  • Three Ways to Serve: Consultants typically deliver value in three ways: providing expert guidance (advisory), teaching others (training), or executing the work (doing it for them).

  • Who is Hiring in 2026: despite budget constraints, health departments, community organizations, and healthcare systems are actively seeking consultants to help them navigate transitions and rebuild capacity
