Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioterrorism, drug-resistant disease, transmission of disease by global travel . . . there's no shortage of challenges facing America's public health officials. Men and women preparing to enter the field require state-of-the-art training to meet these increasing threats to the public health. But are the programs they rely on provide the high caliber professional training they require? Who Will Keep the Public Healthy? provides an overview of the past, present, and future of public health education, assessing its readiness to provide the training and education needed to prepare men and women to face 21st century challenges. Advocating an ecological approach to public health, the Institute of Medicine examines the role of public health schools and degree-granting programs, medical schools, nursing schools, and government agencies, as well as other institutions that foster public health education and leadership. Specific recommendations address the content of public health education, qualifications for faculty, availability of supervised practice, opportunities for cross-disciplinary research and education, cooperation with government agencies, and government funding for education. Eight areas of critical importance to public health education in the 21st century are examined in depth: informatics, genomics, communication, cultural competence, community-based participatory research, global health, policy and law, and public health ethics. The book also includes a discussion of the policy implications of its ecological framework.

Download or read book Public Health A Very Short Introduction written by Virginia Berridge and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health is a term much used in the media, by health professionals, and by activists. At the national or the local level there are ministries or departments of public health, whilst international agencies such as the World Health Organisation promote public health policies, and regional organisations such as the European Union have public health funding and policies. But what do we mean when we speak about 'public health'? In this Very Short Introduction Virginia Berridge explores the areas which fall under the remit of public health, and explains how the individual histories of different countries have come to cause great differences in the perception of the role and responsibilities of public health organisations. Thus, in the United States litigation on public health issues is common, but state involvement is less, while some Scandinavian countries have a tradition of state involvement or even state ownership of industries such as alcohol in connection with public health. In its narrowest sense, public health can refer to the health of a population, the longevity of individual members, and their freedom from disease, but it can also be anticipatory, geared to the prevention of illness, rather than simply the provision of care and treatment. In the way public health deals with healthy as well as sick people it is therefore a separate concept from health services, which deal with the sick population. Drawing on a wide range of international examples, Berridge demonstrates the central role of history to understanding the amorphous nature of public health today.

Download or read book Education and Public Health written by Jenny Smith and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2003 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging students in community change has far-reaching benefits that not only support but also extend beyond academic achievement. Students who participate in such efforts become better connected to their schools and communities while learning and practicing the principles of democratic citizenship. Students with a high degree of school connectedness are less likely to make risky choices. In 1998, ASCD and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation joined together to support school-community partnerships that used public health as a focus for student learning and community involvement. This book describes the lessons learned from the projects and provides insight into how schools and community public health agencies can work together to improve student achievement, behavior, and health. Using examples from diverse communities, the author discusses the intersections between education and public health, keys to successful projects, and ways to connect to the curriculum.
