Key Facts

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it more evident than ever that public health needs do not remain static. On the contrary, today’s public health professionals are challenged to address increasingly complex and dynamic issues.

Program participants acquire tools for analyzing public health challenges and designing intervention strategies at the community and national levels. The curriculum covers a broad range of areas such as epidemiology, research methods, and biostatistics​; health administration, health economics and health systems; and public health practice, planning, administration and evaluation. A major component of the program is the Community-Oriented Primary Care (COPC) Workshop, which is based on a holistic approach to healthcare delivery at the population level that integrates clinical medicine and public health.
