UTH

Welcome from the dean

boerwinkle2I am honored to be the dean of UTHealth School of Public Health. Here, we offer advanced degrees in the diverse field of public health including behavior sciences, genetics, and health care management.

Our diverse graduates are professional and innovative leaders of population health programs in universities, the private sector, and government organizations in Texas and across the nation. We are continually challenging ourselves to expand the educational mission to meet the growing demands of the workforce, and to expand our repertoire of excellence to lead the ever-changing field of health care.

Public health is a science that works with people and entire communities to keep them healthy by preventing disease and ensuring better health care outcomes. It is is also a profession. By offering degree paths and programs that cater to both aspects of public health, we are able to improve the health of Texas and Texans — something our faculty and students have been doing for over 50 years.

但是我们思考和理解公共卫生的方式正在改变。我们知道,一个人的生活方式,邻里,人际关系,习惯和行为可以极大地影响他们培养和维持健康的能力。我们知道这些因素是密切相互联系的,仅解决一个难题不再是我们社区的可持续解决方案。

We have to think—and act—bigger and bolder.

UTHealth School of Public Health has always been a convening agent. Our six campuses span and impact one of the most geographically and demographically diverse states in the U.S., and each of those campuses serves as a catalyst and conduit connecting people, agencies and organizations for better health outcomes for the populations that we serve.

随着未来50年的发展,我们的重点将转向追求人口健康的发展,该科学强调了健康,政策,工业和系统设计的交汇处。这一转变的中心是更加重视跨部门的合作,并取决于持续的研究,教学和建立关系。beplay苹果手机能用吗

I am the luckiest person on earth to have the privilege to work with so many varied, interesting, competent, and smart people. I look forward to working with you to achieve important and shared goals.

Thank you, and I hope you stay healthy.
