International training course on Master of Public Health, Israel
| |
For the past three decades, the Braun School of Public Health and
Community Medicine of the Hebrew University and the Hadassah Medical
Organization have offered a one year Master of Public Health (MPH)
degree to students from developing and developed countries. More than
550 students from some 80 countries have completed this one-year
international program. Due to the rich academic history of the
program and the life experiences of the students and faculty alike,
the School has created an environment that is scientifically
challenging and culturally stimulating.
The overall objective of the MPH Program is to provide basic
knowledge on the theory and practices of public health and community
medicine for health professionals. The various courses taught at the
School range from epidemiology and statistics to family planning and
health services management. Personal contact with the School's alumni
shows that these objectives are being realized and that most of our
graduates are making major contributions to public health programs in
their countries, regions or communities.
An important element of the Program is the workshop on Community
Oriented Primary Care (COPC). The COPC model, as developed by the
School, has been applied and considered as an appropriate approach
for the delivery of health care in diverse health systems the world
over.
Graduates occupy leadership positions in their countries as heads of
ministerial departments and divisions at the national level, faculty
members at academic institutions, consultants for the World Health
Organization (WHO) and in leadership positions at various
non-governmental organizations (NGO).
MASHAV has the primary sponsor of scholarships for the MPH
program.
