INMED College-Level Application

Master of Public Heath

Public Health is the art and science of preventing disease and disability and fostering health in communities and populations. Some of the ways that public health achieves these goals is by measuring and monitoring health status and the risk factors for health problems, responding to epidemics and evaluating those responses, developing prevention initiatives and public policies for health problems, and promoting healthful lifestyles through education and community engagement. Public Health is practiced by interprofessional teams whose members are trained in a broad array of fields.
