Public Health

The Public Health component of the curriculum provides:

 an understanding of the areas of knowledge basic to public health (biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health causes, health services administration, and social and behavioral sciences);

 an acquisition of skills and experience in the application of basic public health concepts and of specialty knowledge to the solution of community health problems; and

 a demonstration of integration of knowledge through a public health field experience.

In addition, there are opportunities for students interested in these areas to pursue them, in seminars or individually arranged tutorials.
