The original schools— LNursing and Medicine––have been joined by Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Public Health, the Graduate School, and the Faculty of Religion. The University, operated by the Seventh-day Adventist church, is committed to the vision of its founders and is sustained by its close association with the church. Loma Linda University is a Seventh-day Adventist coeducational, health-sciences institution located in inland southern California. It is part of the Seventh-day Adventist system of higher education. Professional curricula are offered by the Schools of Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Public Health, Medicine, and Nursing. Graduate programs in various biomedical sciences are offered by departments of the schools. The professional curricula of the University are approved by their respective professional organizations. The most current campus census figures (2000-2001) indicate that the core of the combined faculties consists of 1,023 full-time teachers. Part-time and voluntary teachers, largely clinicians in the professional curricula, bring the total to 2,199. Men and women from 84 nations are represented in the 2001-2002 enrollment of 3,338. PHILOSOPHY s implied by its motto, “TO MAKE MAN WHOLE,” the University affirms these tenets as central to its view of education: A God is the creator and sustainer of the universe. Mankind’s fullest development entails a growing understanding of the individual in relation both to God and society. The quest for truth and professional expertise, in an environment permeated by religious values, benefits the individual and society and advances the ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist church.

  • Doctor of Public Health Program Description
    University of Illinois Online Catalog - http://www.online.uillinois.edu University of Illinois at Chicago Doctor of Public Health Program Description The need for public health leaders has never been greater.

The DrPH offered by the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago is tailored to mid-career public health professionals who want to expand their knowledge and practice of public health. With the flexibility to learn online from anywhere around the world, students in the DrPH Program in Leadership will join a stimulating community of peers and renowned faculty en route to an outstanding educational experience. Those who earn the DrPH from UIC will possess the skills to lead practice-based research, influence public health policy, effect change in health systems and institutions, and assume key roles in the public health community at local, national, and international levels. Admission Requirements To qualify for the DrPH program, students must hold a master’s degree from an accredited school of public health or a master’s degree in a related field. They must also have three or more years of full-time, paid, professional experience in public health in a leadership position (or in mid to senior level management positions that demonstrate evidence of leadership potential).

  • Public Health
    Public Health Public Health Careers At-a-Glance o People who work in public health hold the common goal of improving the health of individuals and society by promoting healthy lifestyles, preventing injuries and disease, and controlling infectious diseases. They may be concerned with protecting and improving the health of a small community, or the entire planet. Job duties within the public health field can range from analyzing health statistics within a certain population to finding the cause of a disease and from educating children about proper hygiene to orchestrating a public service campaign. Public Health Careers In-Depth o The public health field implicates a wide variety of disciplines, many of them based on science, medicine or statistics. As a result, a high level of education is needed. The standard is a master’s level degree, usually the Master of Public Health (MPH) or Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH). For careers based strongly on research, a master’s degree will be a minimum, with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) the ideal. However, an advanced degree is not necessary to work in some areas of public health. For example, health educators need a bachelor’s degree and community health workers may need only a high school diploma, certificate or associate degree. Steps to Pursuing Public Health Degrees & Careers o Obtain a bachelor’s degree in public health or a related concentration . The bachelor’s degree is the bare minimum for some public health professions. Depending on the college, there may be either a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree in public health offered.
