पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program is the highest professional degree for the public health generalist who intends to become a practitioner of public health. In addition to epidemiological training, the candidate is expected to focus on public health practice and to acquire broad knowledge for development of new initiatives and evaluation of ongoing programs. Dr.P.H. program with its professional focus differs from the Ph.D. program which is more research oriented. An essential component of the Dr.P.H. program is the field experience which is designed to provide maximum exposure to epidemiology in the context of public health practice. Both the course work and the field experience are expected to have public health relevance. Persons graduating with the Dr.P.H. would be expected to assume leadership positions in governmental and non-governmental agencies, as well as businesses that are concerned with the health of human populations.
