 The
Department of Public Health and Community Medicine is distinguished
by a strong faculty with a broad multidisciplinary approach
to public health and clinical issues. In both teaching and research, the department seeks to
educate medical and graduate students and to conduct research
directed at improving the health of the public.
Our goal in teaching students is to provide them with the
skills, knowledge, and perspectives needed to understand
the essential links between the social, physical, and economic
environments and the health of individual patients and their
families.

and biometry, environmental and occupational health, nutrition,
public health policy, and the social and economic aspects
of the health care system. The department directs research
efforts at issues affecting the community at large and its
individuals. |
