Become a leader in global medicine.
Earn your MPH from St. George’s University’s
CEPH-accredited public health program.
As nations become more interconnected and populations increasingly
migratory, diseases are less likely to be relegated to single communities—or
even a single species. With society on the move today as never before, even
small towns have become a global crossroads, bringing patients and health
issues from around the world to its doorstep. Now more than ever, leadership in
medicine requires health practitioners with an understanding of these issues—
and the education and expertise to address them.
There is one university that has globalism in its charter and has been preparing
students to meet the health care needs of the global community since 1976—
St. George’s University. With students and faculty from 140 countries, MPH
students from St. George’s are trained to think beyond their local communities
from their first day on campus.
St. George’s CEPH-accredited Master of Public Health (MPH) program
provides a solid foundation for future leaders in the vital area of public
health and enables them to take on senior roles in government, international
relations, and research as well as improves their ability to address localized
public health concerns.

cePH-accredited MPH Program
SGU’s Department of Public
Health and Preventive Medicine,
and its Council on Education for
Public Health (CEPH) accredited
Master of Public Health (MPH)
program, has been committed
to improving the health and
wellbeing of populations,
communities, and individuals
throughout the world. Students
pursuing an MPH degree complete
a 42-credit program either as a
full-time stand-alone degree
program or as part of the dual
degree MD/MPH or DVM/MPH.
MPH Practicum Sites
• Participated in the Child in Need Institute’s maternal
and child health program in India and in maternal
and child clinics for rural communities in Thailand,
Cambodia and Vietnam.
• Evaluated the health care delivery system in the
United States.
• Implemented integrated vector management approach
to the prevention and control of Trypanosoma cruzi/
Chagas diseases in South America.
The practicum is a curriculum component that allows
students to apply their academic coursework and training
within a public health practice setting under the direction
of an on-site supervisor. Practicums are arranged on an
individual basis, with written goals set in advance and
approved by the student, the practicum coordinator, and
the on-site supervisor. A successful practicum placement,
whether in Grenada, the larger Caribbean, the United
States, or elsewhere in the world, requires that students
initiate the process with the input and coordination of
the practicum coordinator. Students and site supervisors
are expected to submit reports of progress both midway
through the experience and at the conclusion of the
practicum to be revised by the practicum coordinator.
A truly international program with students and faculty
from over 140 countries at the University, students in the
Master of Public Health program also complete a 240-hour
practicum at sites throughout the world. Practicums have
been conducted at more than 160 locations in 30 countries
throughout Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and
North and South America. During the 15-year history of St.
George’s MPH program, students have:
• Participated in mobile clinic health outreach programs
with the African Medical and Research Foundation
(AMREF) in Nairobi, Kenya.
• Studied infectious diseases in the AIDS/STI Unit in
Gaborone run by the Government of Botswana in
conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
• Supervised and managed a leptospirosis/fever of
unknown origin research study on oil palm plantations
in Cambodia as well as collected and analyzed data
with the Navy Medical Research Unit (NAMRU).
• Examined the public health importance and risk factors
associated with cystic echinococcosis in the Berbe
people of eastern Morocco by conducting interviews
and personal observation to investigate potential
transmission sites.

Common diseases such as polio, measles, mumps, and
chickenpox have been toppled one by one by practitioners
of public health. History is painted with the names of the
people who labored to develop treatments—people like
Jonas Salk and Madame Curie, to name just two.
Today’s public health practitioners work in government
and private industry as well as in nonprofit groups and
other organizations dedicated to improving the public
health. A growing field with wide-ranging opportunities,
some public health professionals might:
• Document how to manage or avoid medical disorders
brought on by unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as
overeating, alcoholism, or smoking.
• Engage in research on how mosquitoes transmit dengue
virus as well as preventive measures people can take
to avoid the virus, and how we can work to respect the
Earth, and in the end, benefit ourselves.
• Coordinate initiatives documenting the close ties of all
creatures to the environment.
• Work to help populations limit pollution of local water
resources that can cause terrible dysentery in those
forced to drink it.
Those with a drive to concentrate on veterinary medicine
might monitor not only the animal population at large, but
also the food supply chain on alert for diseases that could
transfer to humans. Still others might find themselves with
a seat on the front line of defense in the emerging threat
to the food supply from agroterrorism and bioterrorism.
As the world rapidly changes and the role of the public
health professional expands, MPH graduates from St.
George’s will find that they not only have the skills and
global insight to continue the ongoing battles of public
health, but they are better prepared to identify and
proactively manage new threats on the horizon.

Victoria Kimotho earned a Master
of Public Health in health behavior
and health policy at St. George’s
University in December 2008 and is
pursuing her PhD in public health
at Jomo Kenyatta University of
Agriculture and Technology and
Kenya Medical Research Institute–
Institute of Tropical Medicine and
Infectious Diseases.
Ms. Kimotho is currently the advocacy
(health policy) manager at the African
Medical and Research Foundation
(AMREF) headquarters. Her
responsibilities include developing
and coordinating the implementation
of the organizational evidence-based
advocacy strategy and establishing
and maintaining partnerships for
advocacy at global and regional
levels. She has represented Africa
Health in civil society organization
engagement with the G8 Sherpas
and foreign ministers. She also
coordinates AMREF’s campaign to
train 15,000 midwives in 13 countries
in sub-Saharan Africa dubbed “Stand
Up for African Mothers.”
“Obtaining an MPH was crucial for me
to understand the theory behind my
work in public health,” she said. “It
prepared me to analyze the challenges
the communities I work with face as
well as the opportunities to improve
their health.”

Dr. Yon J. Chong is a third-year
psychiatry resident in a joint University
of Nebraska Medical Center/
Creighton University Psychiatry
program located in Omaha, Nebraska.
She is also continuing her second year
term as the Associate Chief Resident.
Born in South Korea then raised in
Ohio, Dr. Chong decided to work
toward an MD/MPH dual degree, as
opposed to studying only medicine at
St. George’s University, because she
believes that preventative medicine
is “not taken seriously enough” in US
health care. She earned her MD/MPH
in 2011 and thinks it helped her stand
out in the physician pool when it came
time to obtaining her residency. The
public health background has allowed
her to address widespread issues in
child and adolescent psychiatry.
“I have really worked to focus on
breaking down the stigma attached
to mental health illnesses, so people
who are affected do not delay seeking
help because of it,” Dr. Chong said.
“I also have been working on suicide
prevention and helping schools
screen for mental illnesses in their
students and decrease bullying,
including cyber bullying.”
She followed up her MD/MPH degree
by earning her MBA from SGU in
2012, developing business and
administration skills for the public
health sector.

Principles of epidemiology
Principles of Epidemiology is the investigation of the
factors that determine the distribution and dynamics of
health and disease in human populations. The course
covers the measure of disease frequency, descriptive
epidemiology, study types, and methods to document
variation in disease occurrence. The tools of epidemiology
are used in all aspects of public health to describe the
patterns of illness in populations, design research studies,
evaluate public health programs, and keep abreast of
changes in the health status of populations.

research tools needed to work successfully in public health
and explores some of the common types of research
encountered in public health settings. Topics include
qualitative and quantitative data collection, design of
research instruments, interpretation and dissemination
of data, community assessments, and presentation of
research findings. The course integrates case studies in
public health ethics throughout the discussion of research
so that the latter is considered in light of moral and ethical
dilemmas that often occur. A combination of lecture,
discussion, reading of literature, and computer applications
are used to familiarize students with public research
methods in public health.
PUBH 889
Practicum/internship in Public health
This course is the third requirement of the department is
the practicum. The practicum experience is a critical part
of the Master of Public Health program, which integrates
academic preparation with field-based experience. The
internship allows students to apply academic coursework
and training within a public health agency setting under
the direction of a mentor or on-site supervisor. Internships
are arranged on an individual basis with written goals
spelled out in advance and approved by the student,
faculty advisor, and on-site supervisor. Students complete
a minimum of 240 hours of fieldwork in the public health
practice setting.
PUBH 893
capstone seminar
The fourth departmental requirement is designed as
a practical seminar to assist students to work through
systematic steps in preparation of their Capstone Paper.
The seminar covers topics in a planned sequence, such
as selecting a topic, reviewing the literature, selecting
data sources, selecting methods analysis, preparing a
proposal, and writing stepwise drafts. The Capstone Paper
demonstrates mastery of selected concepts of public health
by integrating the core functions of public health within a
comprehensive research paper. Students determine the
topic of the paper and work according to the schedule of
the Capstone Seminar to show understanding and mastery
through the application of public health concepts to chosen
research questions. Finished papers are presented orally in
a seminar setting and kept in the department as reference
documents; they may also be submitted for publication.

the epidemiology of chronic diseases. Chronic Disease
Epidemiology starts with a strong focus on preventive
medicine, and explores the risk factors for various chronic
conditions. The course covers major conditions in extensive
detail, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes,
lung disease, arthritis, and neurological disorders.
PUBH 835
Practical data management and analysis
In this course, students will learn the concepts and practice
of sound data management, data editing, and cleaning, as
well as plan and conduct an analysis of actual public health
data. Students will use Epi Info™ to create data entry screens
and edits, enter and clean data they have collected, and
analyze data from a large cross-sectional survey, in addition
to an analytic epidemiologic cohort or case-control study.
The knowledge and skills acquired in this course will be
useful for anyone whose future plans include epidemiology,
biostatistics, or medical or veterinary research.
PUBH 842
intermediate epidemiology
In this course, students will be exposed to a more in-depth
look at basic study designs, including the measures of
disease occurrence, measure of effect, and the concept
of validity and methods to deal with threats to validity, as
well as defining and assessing heterogeneity. This course
will also expose students to the most common analytic
methods used by epidemiologists.
PUBH 843
infectious diseases epidemiology
During the first half of this course, students are introduced
to basic epidemiological concepts and methods, which
24
form part of the standard armament of all epidemiologic
activity. This includes the most common measures of
disease frequency, measures of effect, basic study designs,
concepts of validity, and basic statistical concepts. In the
second part of the course, emphasis is placed on how
these basic tools are applied in the disease dependence
context typical of infectious disease epidemiology. In
this part of the course, students will look at models for
epidemics, outbreak investigation and analysis, surveillance,
measurement of infectivity, contact patterns, and the
epidemiology of vaccination. During this part of the course,
an effort will be made to demonstrate the application
of these methods in the context of important infectious
diseases of human, animal, and zoonotic origin.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH TRACK
PUBH 816
occupational health
This course provides students with the knowledge and
skills to recognize and evaluate common occupational
hazards (for example, chemical, physical, biological, and
psychosocial), which are followed by a review of common
approaches that can be taken to prevent these hazards
from causing work-related diseases and injuries. The
relationship between workers and their jobs, with respect
to health outcomes, are explored from historical, scientific,
and policy perspectives. A systematic approach to the
study of the causes and extent of work-related injuries and
ill health is emphasized. Principles of occupational safety
and models of accidents, causation, and investigation are
also covered.
PUBH 837
environmental sustainable development
Principle I of the Rio Declaration on Environment and
Development (1992) states, “Human beings are at the
center of concerns for sustainable development. They are
entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with
nature.” The objectives of this course are to introduce
students to the definition and concepts of sustainable
development, and to explore the cross-cutting relationship
between health and sustainable development. The areas
of focus include energy for sustainable development,
atmospheric pollution and climate change, integrated
water resources management, integrated solid waste
management, health and sustainable development,
disaster reduction and management, biodiversity, trade
and environment, sustainable consumption and production,
sustainable tourism, agriculture, transport, human
settlements, international law, industrial development,
poverty, and national sustainable development strategies.
PUBH 841
occupational and environmental epidemiology
The main goal of this course is to provide an introduction
to environmental and occupational epidemiology and
basic concepts, methodology, and practical usage in public
health. This course describes epidemiological methods
that are utilized to study risk factors in occupational and
environmental health. Students will critically analyze
epidemiological studies in occupational and environmental
health settings. Students will gain knowledge and skills to
evaluate environmental and occupational health problems
by using epidemiologic methodology.
PUBH 849
environmental toxicology
The course covers basic principles of toxicology and
mechanisms by which chemicals cause health problems
and environmental damage. The student will be able to
apply the principles of toxicology for compounds found in
the environment and workplace.
PUBH 852
environmental health management
Environmental Health Management is designed to prepare
students to confidently step into community situations in a
professional capacity and experience, understand, evaluate,
and solve real-world environmental and occupational health
issues in the developing world. Emphasis will be placed on
understanding the linkages between the physical and social
aspects of environmental and occupational health issues.
Topics are variable and will draw upon the cumulative
expertise of the environmental health track faculty. Course
time will be split approximately evenly between field
project time conducted off-campus and in-class instruction
designed to prepare students for field projects.

HEALTH POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION TRACK
PUBH 844
decision making in Public health Policy
This course is all about “doing the right things right.” It
gives an overview of different techniques for decision
making in health policy and management. Decision
making is an essential part of working as a public health
professional; it forms the critical link between theory and
practice, and thus assures implementation of the right
interventions with the maximum impact on the well-being
of the population or groups of patients.
PUBH 850
leadership in management
The main emphasis of this course is guided by recent events
and new trends; public health training increasingly requires
new and more advanced information—leadership and
management skills drawn from business, industry, education,
and government. This course offers skills necessary for
students entering the field of public health management
with a specific focus on developing knowledge and skills in
the cross-cutting competency domains.
The course provides students with the tools needs to
diagnose and solve organizational problems; to influence
the actions of individuals, groups, and organizations;
and to lead high-performing, successful public service
organizations. A key leadership task is to assemble the
skills, talents, and resources of individuals and groups
into those combinations that best solve the organizational
problems at hand. Leaders must manage people,
information, and processes to accomplish organizational
goals; they must make things happen, and often not
under conditions or time frames of their own choosing.
The successful execution of these goals requires leaders
to be able to understand what they bring to and need
from their organizations, formulate a mission and strategy,
make effective decisions, influence and motivate diverse
individuals, apply their own skills and abilities to their teams,
optimize the structure of their organization, diagnose
problems, and drive organizational change.
Each class will focus on a particular set of leadership
skills. The goal will be to distinguish between effective
and ineffective strategies. Students will accomplish this
by discussing key theoretical concepts, analyzing related
cases, engaging in exercises, and completing team
projects. This course reflects a dual focus on practice and
conceptual training. The course packet readings introduce
key concepts and useful ways of thinking about common
situations in complex organizations. Case studies and class
exercises provide opportunities to apply theories, concepts,
and research findings to particular situations, sectors,
and fields of interest to the students and to hone skills
in problem definition and problem solving. The written
assignments, including the team project, ask students to
consolidate their insights and to practice their analytic skills.
PUBH 851
Foundations in health Policy analysis
Foundations in Health Policy Analysis is the introductory
course to health policy concepts and analysis, with special
emphasis on the political framework and the problem-
centered model. This is based on the thinking that good
policy analysis is built on economics, resource management
strategies, and political processes. Policy analysis can be
described as the science and the art of giving advice that
affects public policy decisions. This course familiarizes
students with the policy process, the role of political actors,
and the implications of research and resources within
health policy-making.
The larger economic, political, and governmental context
on health policy decisions is introduced, as well as an
understanding of the effect or impact of policies on target
groups, institutions, and society more generally. Specific
global health policy issues are chosen for discussion on the
basis of their relevance to current public policy debates.
Particular emphases are placed on students’ ability to
understand, assess and critique the policy process, and
apply concepts within real world settings and initiatives
PUBH 854
health economics
The course will introduce students to the main concepts of
the public health field and the critical links between global
health and social and economic development. Students will
get an overview:
26
• To provide an economics perspective for
management decision making.
• To provide theoretical groundwork for the study of
finance, accounting, marketing, and planning.
• To enable them as future health care managers to
play positive roles in the reform of health care. The
course will cover key concepts and frameworks but be
very practical in orientation.

Preventing mental illness: global Perspectives and
universal strategies
This course provides an advanced introduction to
community psychology, public health theory, and research
with the goal of helping students to develop a global
understanding of the prevention of mental illness. This
course is divided into three components:
• Section I: Psychological Theory and Research
Psychological Theory and Research is primarily concerned
with person-environment interactions and the ways
society impacts individual and community functioning.
In this section of the course, students will explore the
framework of community psychology theory and practice.
• Section II: Prevention and Primary Care
Students will investigate the integration of psychological
theory with public health medicine. In particular, the focus
will be on the role of the primary care provider in mental
health illness prevention.
• Section III: Specific Areas of Prevention
During this section of the course, students will focus on a
variety of psychosocial issues and the practical application
of psychosocial theory and research to the prevention
of mental illness, in addition to the promotion of mental
health and wellness.
PUBH 825
Family violence: a Public health Problem
This course presents an in-depth study of family violence,
a growing public health problem. Characteristics of the
27
problem, its history, and its numerous manifestations
in specific population groups across the life span will
be studied. The role of public health agencies and their
interface with the criminal justice systems will be an
important focus. Prevention strategies and community
responses to the problem will provide students with the
opportunity to evaluate and plan a public health solution
to a specific aspect of family violence for a geographic
location of their selection.
PUBH 826
Women and health: a sociolegal Perspective
This course is intended to develop an understanding
of the conception and operation of the law as it relates
to women and health. Critical conceptual issues from
the humanities, law, and social sciences will be used to
investigate and theorize the intersections of women,
health, and the law, with an emphasis on the North
American experience, as well as glimpses into global
conversations. The ways in which differences of race, class
ability, and sexuality make a difference to women’s health
will be constantly interrogated.
PUBH 845
veterinary applications to Public health
This course is concerned with the varied ways in which
veterinary medicine can be applied to the promotion and
protection of human health. Students will be exposed
to diseases of animals that affect humans and to the
application of the herd or population approach to the
practice of disease prevention and control. Special attention
will be given to the significant overlap between animal
health and human health in pursuit of the One Health, One
Medicine concept. The course is divided into four modules
each highlighting applications of veterinary practice in public
health. They include: prevention and control of zoonotic
diseases, food protection, environmental protection, and the
veterinary role in One Health, One Medicine.
PUBH 853
Public health surveillance
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the key
aspects of surveillance: history of public health surveillance,
sources and collection of data, analysis and interpretation
of surveillance data, communication of surveillance
data, technology of public health surveillance systems,
evaluation of public health surveillance activities, ethical
and legal issues in surveillance, international and regional
issues in surveillance, and future considerations. The course
structure will be based on the principle that the purpose
of surveillance is to enable evidence-based development
of prevention and control programs, and to promote the
most effective use of health resources. Surveillance is built
upon dynamic and flexible principles of careful resource
allocation, the best response to the current epidemic state,
use of biological and behavioral data, and integration of
various data sources.
