| The School of Public & Population Health (SPPH) at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX, was formally approved in 2022 to serve as a hub for integrating and aligning research, scholarship, practice, and education activities across the UTMB campus to address public health challenges locally, across Texas, and beyond. SPPH is home to five departments including Biostatistics and Data Science, Bioethics and Health Humanities, Epidemiology, Population Health and Health Disparities, and Global Health and Emerging Diseases. Across these departments, we focus on the primary prevention of disease and disability through the promotion of healthy behaviors and environments, while also addressing disparities in these outcomes. We also emphasize secondary prevention, or limitation of disease progression, through effective screening and early intervention, and promote tertiary prevention, or prevention of disease sequelae, through effective treatment and rehabilitation to restore health and function. SPPH offers three CEPH-accredited PhD programs (Bioethics & Health Humanities, Population Health Sciences, and Rehabilitation Sciences), two CEPH-accredited academic master’s degrees (MS in Aerospace Medicine and MS in Bioethics & Health Humanities), and five CEPH-accredited concentrations for the Master of Public Heath (MPH) degree (Bioethics, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Generalist [MD/MPH], and Public Health Practice). |
