Message From the Dean
This is an exciting time to study at the UCLA School of Public Health. More
than ever before, those in government and the general public are showing
an interest in the work we do. The increased investment in fortifying the
public health infrastructure will continue to create many exciting opportunities
for the field and for our students and graduates. A degree from the UCLA School of Public Health, one of the top schools in the county, is particularly valuable as the field examines gaps in the training of the current public health workforce. I recently served as co-chair of the Institute of Medicine committee that produced the report Who Will Keep the Public Healthy? Educating Public Health Professionals for the 21st Century, which includes recommendations to broadly expand and strengthen public health training throughout the U.S. At the School, there are many opportunities for increasing our visibility and our partnerships to assure that we are best fulfilling our primary missions of education, research, and service. We are fortunate to be based at a premier university and in a vibrant, thriving city that provides abundant opportunities for training and collaboration within the School, with the medical school and the virtually all parts of the UCLA campus. Los Angeles is often the bellwether for social and policy issues in this country. Access to health care is just one example of an issue where California, and particularly the UCLA School of Public Health, is at the forefront. Working together with our community partners, I am confident that our school can take the lead in identifying and helping solve the enormous problem LA residents (and the entire country) face in getting access to high quality health care. Just as what happens in California eventually happens in the rest of the country, our school is positioned to have the same impact on the nation. Our talented faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community partners are our best assets as we work to take this excellent school to even greater heights. Linda Rosenstock, MD, MPH Dean |
