<p>I plan on majoring in health science....just wondering if it's the same.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Wikipedia offers concise definitions:</p>
<p>Health science or biomedical science is the applied science dealing with health.
Public health is concerned with threats to the overall health of a community based on population health analysis.</p>
<p>They aren’t the same thing. Research in health science can inform public health planning, and public health goals can affect the direction of health science research.</p>
<p>cool thanks!</p>
