Welcome to the CWRU MPH Program
Through a dynamic program of education, research and service, it is the mission of the CWRU MPH program to prepare graduates to develop, implement and evaluate authentic solutions to community health problems and promote and protect the health of diverse populations. We seek to accomplish this mission through commitment to interdisciplinary and collaborative learning, by supporting students through a field-based capstone project, and by recognizing that the most effective public health outcomes occur through the development of relationships over time.
Founded in 1999 and accredited by the Council on Education in Public Health in 2006, the CWRU MPH Program is an outstanding addition to the educational, research, and service resources of CWRU's great health science institution. The program takes advantage of the strong assets of the School of Medicine, the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and related CWRU graduate and professional school programs and has moved quickly into prominence as a program that can meet important national and regional educational needs.
Do Best What People Need Most:
A Principle for the Practice of Authentic Public Health
This year's theme "Do Best What People Need Most" sets forth the challenge of passionately providing the greatest service to the greatest number of people. It is important to find what we do well and what we are passionate about doing in our professional lives. There are perhaps as many things people need most as there are people, leaving us plenty to choose from in finding our place of knowledge and passion. Doing best what people need most may refer to the needs of those offering service on the front lines of public health; to the people they seek to serve; or to future generations. The degree of effectiveness we experience in authentic public health depends on the quality of our programming, the intensity of our effort, and the extent of our reach.
