专业概况

在这里学什么？

Information is key to effective public health administration. Surveillance systems provide information on infectious disease tracking, disease clusters, food-borne outbreaks, and injuries. Environmental monitoring systems provide information on health risks such as toxic chemicals or airborne pollutants. Registries contain information on vital statistics such as birth, death, and immunization. E-Public Health integrates information from electronic health records to use in improving population health.

Students pursuing the MPH in Public Health Informatics (MPH-PHI) learn how to manage public health information systems, including vital statistics systems, online analytical processing tools, immunization registries, population health surveillance, community health information networks, and more.

The MPH-PHI is offered both in-person and fully online. This program will prepare you to:

• Understand the significance of the various public health information systems and how to leverage these systems to improve health of the public
• Conceive, design, develop, implement, and use IT by applying informatics skills to population health
• Manage information systems within an organization or network of organizations
• Create state-of-the-art solutions at the intersection of informatics and global public health

Program Sub-plan

Health Disparities Interdisciplinary Concentration Area

The Health Disparities Interdisciplinary Concentration (HDIC) addresses the unequal burden of health risks, morbidity, and mortality experienced by minority cultural and social groups in the US, as well as unequal quality of and access to health care. Achieving optimum health for all segments of society is a central goal of Healthy People 2020, and a concern in Minnesota as well. Despite Minnesota's ranking as one of the nation's healthiest states, Minnesota has some of the largest gaps among cultural and social groups in health indicators.

SPH graduate students must complete a formal program plan if they want the HDIC to appear on their transcripts.

Public Health Policy Interdisciplinary Concentration Area

The School of Public Health's Public Health Policy Interdisciplinary Concentration (PHPIC) focuses on promoting the health of populations and groups through public and organizational policy. PHPIC is open to students pursuing an MPH, includes coursework that explores the way in which federal, state, local, and institutional entities affect the financing, structure, and delivery of public health and medical care. PHPIC coursework provides a better understanding of the health care system as a whole and prevention policy.
