As health problems all over the world, continue to call even the most experienced veterans, the need for well trained problem solvers was never greater. Be more people with a degree in MPH (master of public health) one of the solutions could be? It could be straight, especially if the trend for teaching social entrepreneurship is growing.
A professional is extended the MPH, which takes usually 2-3 years completed. Most programs are taught on the campus. However are a growing number of MPH courses online, such as the program Executive MPH taught, which offered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Students typically their studies in one of the five main areas of focus: public health administration, epidemiology, biostatistics, behavioral sciences (including health education) and occupational and environmental medicine health sciences. The degree together with the PhD, was the primary qualification for people in health care work in some administrative, scientific or professional capacity, and it was also for many years environmental public health.
But there is more that needs to be done. Accredited MPH programs have their figures stagnate or decline seen in recent years. The reasons vary, but one possible explanation is that attracted more young professionals, higher salaries, usually another dimension - that MHA or master of health administration - this is often the preferred route for hospital associated administrators. Another possible reason is the further erosion of the support and interest in public authorities, in the County, State or national level which is, where the MPH is often used.
In any case, which often has MPH as the most attractive degree been seen, to keep track of. But the tide could be? A growing number of universities and colleges a more global approach in their curricula include, schools of public health taught courses. This led students are familiar with a variety of health problems of the world is and want to because of the increased activism, to do something about it.
A similar tendency shows also signs of hope. In addition to that more about global health, are students result increasing interest in corporate governance "good do". That is do to the lives of the people want to improve it, but they want it with entrepreneurship, whether that means actually to create a startup or use entrepreneurial techniques within an existing organization, to implement changes, that is faster and better. Some universities are also integration of social entrepreneurship in their curricula and training offers, as well as granting programs, entrepreneurial thinking among Department promote development. For example, Dr. Dennis Gillings and his wife decided recently $50 million aside at the school of public health in UNC-Chapel Hill for the financing of innovation laboratories, which will focus concentrated efforts, whose solutions can make a difference in public health, to resolve major public health problems.
Bottom line - the world public health and the intelligence, drive and knowledge can further "change agents", who understand, to get things done for the communities around the world. The MPH can you fill this Bill and the time ripe, seeing to accelerate, not a decline, possibly dedicated to emerging MPH candidates. The schools of public health must their efforts to attract more students and offer courses and curricula to reinforce that spur help even larger social entrepreneurship participation of today's students. But they must be innovative, to itself and not as if the usual transactions. For example, some schools are still hesitate one offer MPH online program for fear that the educational process is compromised. And yet, no research supported this idea. In fact according to anecdotal strongly the online curriculum just as effectively, if not more effective, is students.
It is not easy break from tradition, but the world community cannot wait. It is the responsibility for and in pursuit of the MPH degree, the way for the rest of us to.
