General Information
The UH Manoa School of Public Health is one of 28 U.S.
schools accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health. The
school is currently on probationary status with the Council on Education
for Public Health. For further information, you may contact the school
directly. Schools of public health educate professionals in techniques
of health preservation and disease prevention and control. Since many
factors influence the health and well-being of population groups, public
health professionals must face challenges that integrate the broad
social, political, and economic issues of the local community, the
nation, and the world.
Public health draws on a variety of disciplines to
deal with health problems and educates professionals to serve in careers
as diverse as research, management, public health practice, and
teaching. Degrees offered include the professional degrees of master of
public health (MPH) and doctor of public health (DrPH) and the academic
degree of master of science (MS).
The school offers specializations in health services
administration and planning, maternal and child health, community health
education and development, biostatistics, environmental and occupational
health, and epidemiology. Subspecializations are available in
international health studies and public health nutrition studies. The
school also provides supplementary courses in areas of special interest
such as gerontology, family planning, and primary health care.
The resources of the school include faculty, students,
alumni, and institutional relationships. The faculty is a balanced mix
of professionals with diverse interests and skills, many of whom have
had substantial international experience. The multicultural student body
includes experienced health professionals from the United States and
other countries. The school’s many alumni offer professional links
with field placement agencies and potential job sites, and they
participate with students and faculty in school activities.
Strong cooperative relationships in teaching,
research, and student field supervision exist with community agencies,
the state Department of Health, federal agencies such as the Public
Health Service, and other areas of the University of Hawai‘i. The
school also enjoys a well-established student exchange program with the
school of public health at UC Berkeley.
Cooperative relationships are equally important to the
school in the international arena. They provide unique research and
educational experiences for faculty and students. The school is a World
Health Organization Collaborating Center. Initiatives in the Pacific
region have resulted in the designation of the school as the Secretariat
for the Pacific Island Health Officers Association.
The Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health
expands upon the school’s long-standing linkages with a number of
Asian schools and offers opportunities for faculty and student exchange,
collaborative service projects, and joint research activities.
Asia-Pacific consortium members include, in addition
to the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, institutions in Thailand,
Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Nepal, People’s Republic
of China, Sri Lanka, Korea, Japan, Republic of China, Bangladesh,
Vietnam, Australia, and Lao PDR. |
