目標:本文旨在探討公共衛生學系畢業生的出路問題,尤其著重於衛生行政機關進用專業人員的探討。方法:透過對全國公共衛生學系大四學生進行問卷調查,統計過去十年的高普考錄取情形,以及對全國縣市衛生局調查衛生行政人員的進用管道,用以分析公共衛生畢業生的出路問題。結果:調查發現,公共衛生系大四學生普遍覺得畢業生找工作比其他科系困難,過去十年的高普考「衛生環保行政」職系的錄取名額也逐年減少,而衛生單位現職人員有一半以上都是由相關職系轉任的,值得重視。結論:針對出路問題的瞭解,我們建議公衛界可以朝三方向努力:一為停止其他專業的轉任,二為要求衛生單位優先以高普考進用新人,三為爭取專業證照的設立,希望藉由長期努力來改善公共衛生畢業生的出路問題
