UTHealth休斯顿的新学术卫生伙伴关系promises greater opportunities for students and public health workers

The UTHealth Houston School of Public Health is excited to announce the formal establishment of an academic health partnership with Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS). The formalized agreement promises enriched educational opportunities for students, a pipeline to employment for graduates, increased professional development for public health workers, and the streamlining of public health research and delivery for Texans. The partnership is one of the first of its kind in the state and is the evolution of a long-standing collaboration.

Academic Health Departments are often described as the public health equivalent of "teaching hospitals" and reduce the separation between the education of public health professionals and the practice of public health. They offer benefits for academic institutions, health agencies, and the public. A list of美国超过100个学术卫生部门is maintained online by the non-profit Public Health Foundation. We are proud to lead the way in adding our partnership with DCHHS to this list.

The agreement outlining this initiative with DCHHS formalizes and expands upon existing collaborations between the school and the county health department. UTHealth Houston has participated in initiatives with the partner agency, including disease prevention and vaccination efforts, health promotion campaigns, environmental and workplace safety initiatives, and research. The partnership expands these collaborations with innovative elements that increase access to expertise, sharing of technology and research, and efficiency across the board including streamlining the educational and occupation opportunities for each partner and their communities.
