MPH Faculty
Welcome from the Director
We are entering a time of public health renewal in Canada and beyond. Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society. Achievements of public health to date include vaccination, motor vehicle safety, safety in the workplace, control of infectious diseases, decline in deaths from cardiovascular disease, safer and healthier foods, healthier mothers and babies, family planning, fluoridation of drinking water, and recognition of tobacco use as a health issue. During the next ten years, Canada will experience rising rates of chronic preventable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, tobacco-related illness, and environmental illness. These added pressures are occurring a time when all jurisdictions are facing critical shortages in the public health workforce and struggling to maintain essential public health services.
We have developed the MPH program in response to the needs of communities throughout BC and Canada that have called for professionals with the training necessary to carry out core public health services, research and evaluation, the skills and capacity to undertake policy development and program planning, and the capability to provide leadership in public health.
My goal, as Program Director is to ensure that our graduates are of the highest calibre to address the challenges that we face in public health. Our program has a rigorous curriculum, designed in consultation with practicing public health professionals. We will develop a sense of community both among our students, and through our practicum experiences, between our students and the public health workforce, in British Columbia, Canada and internationally.
