Dean's Message
In recent years, there have been exciting developments in the scientific and academic activities at the School. Our faculty are world leaders in a wide range of areas, including the effects of air pollution on respiratory health, parasitic and vector borne diseases, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, cancer prevention, global health governance, genomic and proteomic research on multiple diseases, health behavior, and health care policy and management. In addition to being eminent researchers, our faculty are committed to providing the best possible education to the next generations of public health professionals. The School has an exciting range of programs in addition to our two-year M.P.H. program. These include an advanced professional M.P.H. program for persons with a health-related degree, a joint M.D./M.P.H. program for Yale medical students, a B.A.-B.S./M.P.H. program for Yale College undergraduates, and joint degree programs with many other professional schools at Yale. Through the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, we grant Ph.D. degrees in Biostatistics, Chronic Disease Epidemiology, Environmental Health Sciences, the Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases, and Health Policy and Administration. We also offer an M.S. in Epidemiology and Public Health with an emphasis in either Biostatistics or Chronic Disease Epidemiology. The School of Public Health houses numerous interdisciplinary centers and programs, that give our students the opportunity to collaborate with some of the world’s foremost experts in their area and apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom in practice. Many research, education, and public health practice activities are conducted in collaboration with other faculty and students throughout the Yale community, as well as with other U.S. and international institutions. Faculty, students and alumni also participate in a wide array of important community activities in New Haven, the state of Connecticut, as well as other parts of the country and the world. Although the past achievements of our faculty and students are impressive, we currently are implementing a five-year Revitalization Plan to build on our recent growth and development. The Revitalization activities will focus on continuing to increase our research excellence, enhancing the student experience, and strengthening community-based activities. If you are interested in being on the forefront of addressing the health challenges facing the global community, I encourage you to carefully consider Yale. It is one of the most exciting places in the country to study the factors affecting health and to develop the expertise necessary to improve the health of populations in your neighborhood and across the globe. Sincerely,
